Wits In 60 Seconds

Over 400 top-performing Grade 11 learners take on Johannesburg’s water crisis in a high-stakes case study at the Wits Integrated Experience. Wits launches a Food Sovereignty Hub to combat hunger through sustainable student and community farming, while Occupational Therapy students bring water-wise vertical gardens to rural Limpopo, supporting people with disabilities. Professor Frikkie Booysen highlights rising youth hardship in Gauteng and young Wits academics are transforming how physiology is taught—fostering deeper, integrated learning.
