St Augustine College of South Africa Online Application 2023-2024

Shortly after the formal establishment of the Catholic Hierarchy in South Africa in 1951, the ambition was first mooted to found a Catholic university in the country. In 1993 a discussion group began seriously to consider the matter. In 1994, Professor Emmanuel NGARA, leader of the group, and, then, Fr Buti TLHAGALE OMI, of the South African Catholic Bishops’ Conference (SACBC), issued a report supporting the establishment of a Catholic university. The motivation was three-fold: to provide values-based education with a strong ethical foundation; to inform the conduct of Catholics and fellow Christians in modern society; to encourage Catholic intellectuals to play their part in helping the Church to deepen its commitments to the mission of evangelisation and renewal.

On 18 February 1997, the then Bishop of Johannesburg, the Rt Rev Reginald ORSMOND, created ‘The Catholic University of Southern Africa Trust’ (later renamed the ‘St Augustine College of South Africa Trust’) to guide the process. In November 1997, a Section 21 Company was registered as a provider of higher education within the Catholic Intellectual Tradition (Company Registration No 1997/020522/08). The Company was granted both ‘Not-for-Profit’ and ‘Public Benefit’ status (NPO: 043-665; PBO 130001525).

The name chosen for the proposed institution was ‘St Augustine’ – a conscious link to the African context: St Augustine of Hippo being one of the earliest and greatest Christian scholars produced by the continent.
