The University of Witwatersrand (fondly known as WITS) has pulled out all the stops as it celebrates its centenary this weekend.

Some students at the Johannesburg-based institution spoke about what 100 years of Wits means to them as celebrations got underway in the student suburb of Braamfontein.

“It feels amazing being at the best university in South Africa and hopefully we all go really far and have successful careers, that’s what we are here for,” remarked one student.

A whole host of activities are lined up until Sunday.

Founded in 1922, the university has been named as one of the best and oldest universities in the world. It is ranked joined second in South Africa and the African continent alongside Stellenbosch University. The University of Cape Town holds the top spot.

Friday nights celebrants were treated to a rainbow themed light show detailing the university's history at the great hall stairs as the wits choir serenaded attendees.

The legacies of the whites live on in South Africa. Beautiful!

I wish I could attend versities like this with pride not the yeye ASUU and FG bullshit happening here in Nigeria.

If I have a chance, God knows, I wouldn't think twice starting over again somewhere not in this bleeped up basement we call a country.

Our federal university system is nothing to write about.

You can if you want to, you just need money and the strength to stomach a lot of hatred from black SAs and also, a prayerful life to not get robbed or shot.

Congratulations to Wits.

Does Nigeria have good universities, why in the top 20 best universities in Africa there is no Nigerian university.

Yes South Africans looked after White people legacies, they also improved those legacies.

But Nigerians destroyed White legacies with the lightning speed.

Why are you always thinking white people? Making them your Gods.

WITS is BLACK and NUMBER 2 in Africa. Deal with it!

Chill bro! I didn’t mean nothing bad, okay? WITS was built by the whites, not blacks. Just pointing out an obvious fact, not trying to discredit blacks- a group I belong to.

Trash!! Schools built during the apartheid Era. The blacks built nothing afterwards...
Living on past glories

It's true all u have on your mind are whites and drugs.

Drugs? No way! I don’t smoke let alone do drugs. I’m honestly disappointed you’re creating a storm in a teacup over nothing! Chill, bro! I used to enjoy reading your threads. Relax!

Thanks for following me. Just decolonise your brain - it's 2022.

By always praising whites you're diminishing what black people have achieved.

Bro, I’m Afro-centric, but it doesn’t hinder me from saying things are what they are. WIT is a beautiful university so much so one would think it was located somewhere in Europe! Can blacks build such architectural masterpieces? Sure! Was WIT built by blacks? No! It’s a relic from a period when white colonial masters lorded over your country. So, bro, what’s wrong in me saying the university is a legacy of the whites? Have a good day, bro! We really shouldn’t be going back and forth over nothing! Handshake!

It's with utmost sadness that your post apartheid Government could not thrive without the help of these structures built and developed by the white supremacist and apartheid loyalists they abhor. What a shame!
