The University of the Witwatersrand (pronounced vit-vaters-rant, with flat vowels; see South African English) is a leading South African university situated in Johannesburg. It is often referred to as "Wits" (pronounced vits).
Due to the 1959 Extension of University Education Act the school was only allowed to register a small number of black students for most of the apartheid era, even though several notable black anti-apartheid leaders graduated from the university. It became desegregated again in the last few years of apartheid.
It is the home of the Witwatersrand University Press, one of Africa's leading academic publishers. It is the oldest and largest university press in Africa.
