Within the next five years, 60% of the world’s population will be living in urban areas. Urban living comes with large-scale economic advantages and society benefits from economies of scale.

Kovsies leave NWU with a draw
2014-09-30
Kovsies, the reigning Varsity Netball champions 2013
Defending Varsity Netball champions Kovsies handed VUT a ballistic 77-16 defeat during the final round of the 2014 Varsity Netball championship in Soweto on Monday.
The UFS’s pride will now host the team from NWU for a semi-final clash on 13 October on the Bloemfontein Campus at 17:30. NWU claimed their play-off spot after beating NMMU 63-37 in the final round on Monday.
Kovsies also had to pass through the Maties team on Sunday, where they managed to claim a 56-29 victory over the ladies from Stellenbosch.
Despite their narrow loss against Tuks in the first match of the tournament, Kovsies displayed a lot of determination and consistency in the matches that followed. This just once again proved the quality of a champion side set on not letting their well deserved title go
