Witwatersrand Rural Facility profile Wits Rural Facility, established in 1989, is situated in the central lowveld of South Africa not far from the Kruger National Park. Originally seen primarily as a facility for the University of the Witwatersrand - a permanent rural base for students, staff, and researchers - it has merged these with the NGO functions of community service, including training, legal support and organization. Its service, research, and teaching activities are aimed at improving the lives of people in the Bushbuckridge are of the central lowveld and at putting the issues pertinent to the lives of rural people on research and teaching agendas of South African Universities. Its established programs include natural resources management, income generation support, water information, rural engineering, education, community resource centre, community liaison and architectural projects. It sees in the next few years a need to offset the predominant urban development imperative with rural advocacy.
