Potchefstroom at a glance
Potchefstroom, fondly referred to as Potch, looks like a beautiful country town yet feels like a lively energetic town. It is home to students benefiting from degrees available to them through the North-West University. Also known as the home of sport, Potchefstroom is home to many local athletes and hosts over 1000 international athletes annually, this is largely due to its very clean air as a result of low levels of industry.
LOCATION:
Potch is close to the Vaal River and forms the border between the North-West Province and the Free State.
