The Alumni Experience: Bridging Eras The Alumni Corner served as more than just a viewing deck, it was a bridge between the past and the future. Notable faces in the crowd included former rugby captains, University leadership, and dedicated alumni groups from the RAU and TWR eras. These engagements provided a unique space where graduates, young and old, could share insights, united by the orange jersey. The networking sessions facilitated professional connections, but the true highlight remained the collective remembrance of the evolution of our campuses, from the cultural melting pot of Auckland Park to the vibrant energy of Soweto and Doornfontein. A Season for the History Books The UJ Men’s Senior Rugby Team, led by coach Therlow Pietersen, delivered one of their most successful seasons
in recent memory. By clinching a historic semifinal spot, the team proved that UJ remains a powerhouse in South African university sport. Players like Francois Prinsloo, JT Kapank, and Zian Cilliers became household names among the alumni, embodying the resilience spirit of the institution. Stay Part of the Legacy The energy of the 2026 Varsity Cup was just the beginning. The UJ Alumni Office is committed to keeping the flame of the Orange Army alive through exclusive events, networking breakfast sessions, and reunions. Ensure your contact information is up to date to receive updates on future games, networking events, and other exclusive alumni offers.
