The Northern Cape is South Africa’s largest province, with desert landscapes, wildlife, and gemstones.
With Botswana, it shares Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, whose red dunes shelter lions and falcons.
Wild daisies and other springtime flowers carpet the typically arid plains of Namaqualand, a region stretching into Namibia.
In Kimberley, the provincial capital, The Big Hole mine recalls the 1870s diamond rush.
In terms of education, the province follows in the footsteps of other areas and has education as an essential aspect of society.
There is only one university in the Northern Cape, South Africa: the Sol Plaatje University (SUP). It’s quite a young institution, too, with less than a decade’s experience.
Nonetheless, SUP is committed to providing quality education and professional development opportunities to students from all backgrounds.
