Smuts Hall

ABOUT

To begin to fathom the profound impact that Smuts Hall has had on South Africa and the world is mind-bending... 
  Thousands of life-changing friendships. 
  Hundreds of groundbreaking academic, social, and business contributions.
  Dozens of quite literally world-changing individuals. 
These are but a few of the proud products of the place that we once called home; a home for which we are now presented with a unique opportunity to celebrate. 

Join us in celebrating 90 years of shaping excellent human beings - 90 years of the Smuts Hall family. 

We hope you will be as excited as we are about the weekend programme we have put together; about reuniting with friends; and reliving memories.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us on [email protected]

Yours in Family, 
Geoffrey Forbes
Chair, Smuts Hall Alumni Association

 

WARDEN'S MESSAGE

"I am so looking forward to meeting each and every Smuts Hall Alumnus at what promises to be an unforgettable weekend. I'm excited to give you an update on our great residence that is Smuts Hall and to inaugurate our Smuts 90th celebrations together. It is always a wonderful thing to see relationships from Smuts Hall continue to thrive 5/10/20/30/40 years on, and I expect that this event will be a great testament to the unity of our Smuts Hall family. I look forward to seeing you there and sharing a story and a drink or few"

Prof. Kelly Chibale
