In January 2004, the former University of South Africa merged with Technikon Southern Africa and incorporated the distance education component of Vista University (Vudec) to form the new Unisa. The merger brought together vast resources and infrastructure, while consolidating the knowledge bases built up over the years by the three former institutions.
University of South Africa is privileged to have the active support and involvement of some of South Africa’s most respected, forward-thinking leaders. Our Chancellor is Judge Bernard Ngoepe, Judge President of the Transvaal Provincial Division of the High Court of South Africa. The University of South Africa Council, which sets the strategic direction of the University, is chaired by Dr Mathews Phosa, a leading businessman and former Premier of Mpumalanga Province. The Deputy Chairperson is Ms Charlotte Nhlapo-McClain, a Human Rights Commissioner at the South African Human Rights Commission
