“The way I see it, if you want a rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain”. (-Dolly Parton)

No rain or cold wind was going to stop a marching band on Jammie Plaza it seemed. Despite the fact that the musicians were wearing an African shirt, there were still some great tapping-feet tunes. This was part of the plan to promote that it was Blue Week for UNASA (United Nations Association of SA). Blue flags were waving around, hoping to promote and spread the word about the awareness millennium development.

Remember To Give (RAG) and DASO event

calvinkay@gmail.com (Administrator) — Thu, 10 May 2012 09:54:24 +0000

Winter has truly arrived at the University of Cape Town. Another bitterly cold Thursday on Jammie Plaza, interspersed with a fair amount of rain, forced today’s event to be moved into the over-crowded Molly Blackburn area.

RAG (Remember and Give), alongside a DASO (Democratic Alliance Student Organisation) stall, hosted the event in the far corner of Molly Blackburn. According to some of the RAG members, the aim of this event was to promote student activism – one of the foremost issues and concerns at an institution once regarded as the liberal hub of South Africa.

Anybody noticed the influx of UCT students that all of a sudden appear at 12:55? The hundreds, maybe even thousands, of students trotting about with their quirky styles that makes them distinguishable to their UCT faculty. But ahhh, it’s Thursday. UCT Thursday! Gotta get down on Thursday! Everybody is looking forward to the events happening on Jammie at the University of Cape Town.

UCT Golden Key Society, Tiger Tiger and some Red Bull

calvinkay@gmail.com (Administrator) — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 15:40:23 +0000

Smashing potatoes. First UCT Thursday event of the year and Golden Key Society hosted an event. With Tiger Tiger? And RedBull? Total eyebrow raising moment right there. Maybe the heat of the Thursday afternoon was confusing people. However no, that is not the case. This society decided that it wanted to bring out an explosion on to the steps of Jammie Steps and come out LOUD.

If you caught the very random picture of two very weird student last week on our Facebook page, who I happen to know(the one and only Sherlyn), where one seems to be dunking her head in flour, you would have seen that the upcoming event was UCT RAG OLYMPICS. And it was better than ever!!! Here is our UCT Thursdays review.

The UCT semester begins now!

Welcome UCT Firsties and returning students to the mother city of fun, sun and a beach which many of you will probably not see after O-week. Time to party hard, sing really loud at 3am to your fellow sleeping neighbours and get your inner tiger on for the new year. Whoop Whoop!!! Hey, considering it’s supposedly the last year and *boom* goes the world, you might as well start off your life at the University of Cape Town with a BANG.

You just got to love UCT Thursdays, there is never a dull moment.

Surprise was the order of the hour, while creative was the keyword of action on Jammie Plaza when Just Juice promotion organised by Student village hit the land of UCT, on 14 April 2011.I even cannot stop thinking about what happened...It’s amazing what ”two fruits” can do together ! Now who would have thought that one could get a sneak preview of students’ ‘bedroom skills’.
