The Academy for Multilingualism invites papers for the upcoming Third International Translanguaging Symposium in the Global South from 26 to 28 March 2024. 

This symposium in the Global South aims to provide a space for international, continental, and national scholars, academics, practitioners, researchers, and postgraduate students with a kin interest in translanguaging to share their high-quality research and reflect on the critique, contradictions, challenges, complexities, and opportunities proffered by translanguaging.

  • Translanguaging and Social Justice
  • Translanguaging and Teaching Learning
  • Translanguaging and Ubuntu Translanguaging Pedagogies
  • Translanguaging and Decoloniality

  • Translanguaging and Multilingualism
  • Translanguaging and Educational Equity, Access, and Success
  • Translanguaging and Literacy in Education

Shimlas in front line for Baby Boks
2013-05-07

 

Jacques du Toit and Luan de Bruin
07 May 2013


Our university is very proud of its two Shimla rugby players included in this year’s Junior Springbok team for the International Rugby Board’s (IRB) World Championships in France.

Luan de Bruin (hooker) and Jacques du Toit (prop) will help defend the World Championships, which they won in the Cape last year, from 5 June 2013. The Baby Boks took the prestigious Under-20 title from the New Zealand Baby Blacks in 2012.

Luan matriculated at the Afrikaans Boys’ High School in Pretoria and represented the Blue Bulls at the Craven Week in 2010 and 2011. Jacques, a Grey College alumnus, in 2011 played for the Free State at the Craven Week.

The two Kovsies are also the only players from the Free State in the Baby Boks’ World Championship squad.

They are currently at a training camp in the Cape in preparation for the World Cup tournament.
