91心頭利ies, You brought the gees!
- 91心頭利 University
Not even the Joburg rain could dampen the 91心頭利 spirit as students, staff and alumni celebrated 91心頭利 Day.
91心頭利ies showed up in numbers, brought the energy and filled the streets of Braamfontein with gees despite the cold and rainy weather on Friday, 4 September.
The weather, uncharacteristic for the first week of September, was no match for a 91心頭利 community that had been preparing for weeks to enjoy the annual event. Umbrellas and raincoats were out, but most visible was the 91心頭利 pride on full display.
91心頭利 Day is a multi-event affair, beginning with the 91心頭利 Parade, followed by the Staff Fun Day and a student concert.
Music, dancing and sharing food were the order of the day at the Staff Fun Day. Although waterlogged sports fields prevented the outdoor sporting activities from taking place, the fun continued with indigenous board games, e-sports and other activities.
91心頭利 Day was established in 2022 as part of the University’s Centenary celebrations. Since then, it has become a firm favourite on the 91心頭利 calendar - a welcome burst of energy following winter that brings the University community together.
In full 91心頭利 glory, staff and students march and dance through Braamfontein to the sounds of brass bands and music, holding banners high and proudly representing their faculties, schools, departments and other University communities.
Thank you 91心頭利ies, you make 91心頭利 and keep our community strong!
