    The newly appointed Rhodes University Sports Administrator, Frans Mamabolo, welcomes all new prospective student athletes to Rhodes University, and lays out his goals for 2019:

    A very warm welcome to our first years at Rhodes University and Rhodes Sports. We hope that 2019 will be a prosperous year for you in your academics and life in general. Rhodes University (RU) is one of the traditional universities in the country and it prides itself with the quality of education it has provided since its inception. Furthermore, RU provides you with an array of extra curricula activities such as Sports and Societies.

    Sports Administration has provided over the years a variety of activities to RU students, and we continue to do so even today. We provide sports for all students, from recreational sports such as martial arts clubs, rifle club, chess, etc. to high competitive sports such as rowing, football, basketball, tennis, hockey, rugby, netball, and many more others.

    The most successful teams in 2018 were:

    Women football – Won USSA (University Sports South Africa) B section and promoted to A Section.

    Rowing – Came Second at USSA Regatta
