30 January – 1 February 2020

The NWU Potchefstroom campus’ RAG has been the kick-off of the social calendar for every student since 1942. Annually young people from all over the country migrates to this student town to participate in this student driven festival. The feeling of coherence during this time is unparalleled. 

This event is synonymous with shows by some of the best local artists and the famous float parade – you do not want to miss it. The purpose of the RAG experience is not solely to provide students with a good time but it is also for a good cause. All proceeds are donated to community which is used to fund 87 community projects.

OFM is a proud media partner of this event.
