Re-Open Old Vista University Campuses...!!!!

Vista University added more value not only to the lives of former students but by also upgrading the status of the areas they were situated at. The campuses were in touch with community realities and contributed in terms of intellectual capacity and resource sharing with the neighbouring stakeholders such as schools. East Rand Campus was a pride of Daveyton and the neighbouring townships such as Thema, Brakpan and others. The institution acted as motivator for students in primary and high schools. Parents looked up to the institution for the future of their children. Our campus in the East Rand and other Vista compasses enjoyed support from Organisations such as BMF as well as business community in close proximity in the quest for the developmental role as stakeholders to the success of our communities in alleviating crime, hunger and poverty just to name the few.
It cannot be ruled out that the incorporation of Vista University into other university let to failure of our fellow brothers and sisters to further their education. The resent overcrowding at the gate sites of universities in trying to secure admission clearly shows the need for the type of organisation Vista University had in the whole spectrum of admission of students in the Institutions of higher learning. Some of us are professionals in big companies mainly because of Vista University.
The remedy to the current situation regarding our education imperatives cannot ignore the persistent need for reopening of Vista University. There is no need to reinvent the wheel, we had a working university campus system, so let us go back to the system to avoid waiting time and other associated resources.
