2023 Wits Annual Report

This Annual Report encompasses the full scope of the University‘s operations for the reporting period of 1 January to 31 December 2023. This being the first year of the University’s 2033 Strategic framework, the Council determined that the new roadmap should position Wits as the premier academic centre of leading research and innovation in the country and in the Global South. In an extensive consultation period involving the entire Wits community – students, academic and professional administrative staff, Council members, and the Chancellor – we set about developing the Wits 2033 Strategic Framework followed by an Implementation Plan spanning the next five years. This was approved by Council in November 2022.
