A day in the life at the University of Pretoria. 08 April 2013

On this "Day in the life of the University of Pretoria" the student newspaper the Perdeby reported on the dining halls at Tukkies

The newspaper noted that there were twelve dining halls on the University grounds. These halls catered for more than 6000 students on a daily basis. Upon occupation of their residence rooms students qualified for a 50% and save on their total food allowance. This ensured that all residence students had at least one catered meal a day. The prices for breakfast and supper were fixed for the entire year. This gave the students surety they could afford a well-balanced adequate and affordability meal.
