Lonely Planet review for University of the Witwatersrand

The University of the Witwatersrand, more commonly known as Wits (pronounced vits) University, dominates the quiet suburb of Braamfontein. Wits University is the largest English-language university in the country, with more than 20,000 students. Worth a look here are the Gertrude Posel Gallery; Jan Smuts House to see Smuts’ study; and the Planetarium, which you can look around for free, or attend shows on Friday (8pm), Saturday (3pm) and Sunday (4pm).
