Wikipedia - North-West University
The North-West University (NWU) is a public research university located on three campuses in Potchefstroom, Mahikeng and Vanderbijlpark in South Africa. The university came into existence through the merger of the Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, a large, historical university dating back to 1869, which also had a branch in Vanderbijlpark, and the University of North-West (formerly the University of Bophuthatswana) in 2004. With its merged status, the North-West University became one of the largest universities in South Africa with the third largest student population (full-time and distance education) in the country.
NWU Pukke is a rugby union team based in Potchefstroom, South Africa. The team represents the North-West University and competes in the Varsity Cup, which is a premier rugby competition for South African universities. The team has a rich history of success, having won the Varsity Cup championship in 2014 and 2016. The team is known for its physicality and aggressive style of play, with a strong emphasis on forward dominance and set-piece play. The team's colors are green and gold, and their mascot is a fierce-looking puk (a type of antelope). The NWU Pukke rugby team is a source of pride for the university and its supporters, and they continue to be a force to be reckoned with in South African rugby.
