Student life at the University of Pretoria’s Hatfield Campus centres around the Piazza in the centre of the campus. The centre is surrounded by the buildings of the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences, Faculty of Humanities, Old Chemistry Building, the Merensky Library and the Student Centre. The Student Centre is home to several shops, restaurants and banks. The Student Centre is also home to TuksFM, the University of Pretoria’s radio station, as well as Die Perdeby, the UP student newspaper. The Student Representative Council, SRC, is also housed just behind the Student Centre.

The earliest fossil of the homo sapiens family (human beings) was found in Ethiopia, dating back more than 200,000 years. Compared to this length of time, even the "ancient Sumerians" from 6000 B.C. are drooling toddlers.
Let's mention a few African heroes you may have heard of, for inspiration in the face of the continued economic inequality and violence which plague Africa today: Nelson Mandela, first democratically elected President of South Africa, who fought against apartheid and served 27 years in prison while advocating freedom and peace. Haile Salassie, Emperor of Ethiopia, who resisted Mussolini and the fascist Italian invasion of WWII, and who is worshipped as an incarnation of God by the Rastafari movement. Kwame Nkrumah, first Prime Minister of Ghana, advocate of uniting Africa in Pan-Africanism. Fela Kuti, inventor of Afrobeat music, who declared his home to be an independent state, ran for president of Nigeria, and to whose funeral ONE MILLION PEOPLE came to pay their respects.
In June 2001 the African Union was formed, consisting of 53 African States organized, like in the EU, around common economic and political development.
