SASAS Northern Branch
Originally called the Transvaal Branch, the Northern Branch was founded in 1978. The region served by the Branch includes the provinces of Gauteng, Limpopo, North West, and Mpumalanga.

We are focused on linking students from the universities of North West, Limpopo, Venda, Pretoria, Mpumalanga, University of South Africa, and the Tshwane University of Technology to professionals from the animal science industry.
