This marketing plan proposed, amongst others, that the distinctive maroon of the NWU be changed to purple, as well as that the word \u201cPukke\u201d be removed from all marketing material of the Potchefstroom campus of the university.<!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cAfriForum Youth doesn\u2019t agree with these amendments and that is why we launched the #PukBlyPuk campaign a few weeks ago. The Puk, as the Potchefstroom campus of the university is commonly known, doesn\u2019t need to lose its identity in the merging process. The reconsideration of the NWU council means that the unique Puk identity will stay unchanged within the bigger North-West University for the time being,\u201d<\/strong> says Ohann Fourie, AfriForum Youth\u2019s National Coordinator for Campus Structures.<\/p>\n<p>The youth organisation\u2019s Puk branch will also continue to send out the petition to involve future and current students, as well as parents and alumni in this resistance. <strong>&#8220;We want to inform all interested parties about these developments in order to ensure that decisions such as these are not taken unilateral on the side of the NWU council,\u201d<\/strong> states Fourie further.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Students are encouraged to become involved at AfriForum Youth to subsequently ensure that their opinions are taken into consideration. The youth organisation is encouraging each and every person that has an interest in this matter to sign the petition.<\/p>\n<p>Sign the petition by clicking on the following link: <a href=\"http:\/\/afriforumjeug.co.za\/pukblypuk\/\">http:\/\/afriforumjeug.co.za\/pukblypuk\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The council of the North-West University (NWU) took the decision to reconsider the university\u2019s proposed marketing plan.
