Our mission is to be a truly South African university that is academically excellent, innovative in research, critically engaged with society and demographically representative, redressing the disadvantages, inequities and imbalances of the past.
The Computer Science Society at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Westville Campus will be celebrating Software Freedom Day with the university body and anyone else that is able to attend. We are a student body whose aim to promote student involvement in extracurricular activities including community development.
