Where will I stay if I receive an accommodation grant?

If you received an accommodation grant from us, your accommodation will be at the university student dormitories. Buildings are split by gender and you may be accommodated in a shared room with someone else. Note that this is very basic accommodation with shared WC and showers (in the same building) and no air conditioning, although we will provide fans for the rooms. Accommodation available 20 (check in) – 27 August (check out)

What if I received an accommodation grant but can’t share with someone for personal reasons?

You can request a single room in your registration form, but these are limited and will be allocated based on need, so this is not guaranteed. Note that these rooms are also in the university student dormitories and still have a shared WC and no air conditioning. 

Will transport to and from the venue be provided during the event?

If you are staying in university dormitories, we will provide transport to and from the venue every day. If you are staying in private accommodation it will be your responsibility to arrange transport – we will provide you with a local information pack before arrival with recommendations of apps for transport. Transport between the university and any Indaba events held during the week will be provided.
