NEW FLAG FLIES HIGH

The Walter Sisulu University flag flies proudly next to the National South African flag on 1 July 2005 to mark the merger.

On 1 July 2005, the new flag Walter Sisulu University was raised in a quiet ceremony at the main campus in Mthatha, Eastern Cape, to mark the establishment of the new University.

The new flag is a radical change for the former merger partners. In addition to bearing the new University’s logo, the flag flies vertically in a break away from the traditional horizontal flag and is flown in a pair at each campus, bearing the logo against both black and white backgrounds. 

WSU was established through a merger between Border Technikon, Eastern Cape Technikon and the University of Transkei.
