KwaZulu-Natal's Central Application Office - Fully Booked after 20 Years!

KwaZulu-Natal's Central Application Office - Fully Booked after 20 Years!

Date: 2018-08-24

Durban's Central Applications Office (CAO) has, for the past 20 years, been processing applications for first-time admissions for what has grown to include all universities, universities of technology, most private and five TVET (Technical, Vocational, Education and Training) colleges in KwaZulu-Natal.

This non-profit organisation, in Mary Thiphe St. (previously Cato Manor Rd.), is the only organisation of its kind in South Africa and only one similar organisation- a Kenyan state-run enterprise- exists in Africa.

CEO George van der Ross says "We do not simply process applications. We make dreams come true. We don't simply capture applications, we capture dreams."

To celebrate the 20 year milestone, the CAO is releasing a coffee table book to illustrate their achievements at their Annual General Meeting at 6pm on Saturday 1 September at the Durban ICC.

Previous AGM speakers have included: Professor Jonathan Jansen, then Vice-Chancellor of the University of Free State; Director of the Maharishi Institute Taddy Blecher; Carte Blanche investigative journalist Devi Sankaree Govender.

This year, Universities South Africa's (USAf) chief executive, Professor Ahmed Bawa, will deliver the keynote address. The AGM programme includes cultural performances and laughs aplenty courtesy of superb comedian Alfred Adriaan (the evening's compère), top ventriloquist Conrad Koch and his sidekick Chester Missing.
