KIMBERLEY’S Sol Plaatje University (SPU) will extend student registration until Thursday, February 29.
SPU spokesperson Qondokele Sompondo said the university had registered the largest intake of first-year students this year.
“The university, as of last week, enrolled 2,202 first-year students for the 2024 academic year,” said Sompondo.
