Story 1
The University of South Africa has become the first tertiary institution on the African continent to own an airport, marking a bold shift towards practical, skills-based education.
The 20-hectare facility will support practical training in aviation and advanced technologies.
Vice-Chancellor Puleng LenkaBula says the move aims to strengthen innovation and job-ready skills.
LenkaBula says the airport will serve as a “launchpad for future innovators”, enabling the institution to move beyond its traditional distance-learning model and expand into hands-on technical training.
The move reflects a broader trend among global universities that are seeking to align education with labour market demands, particularly in high-skill sectors where practical experience is essential.
The milestone aligns with UNISA’s global growth in research and technical education.
