The University of Johannesburg has launched their Advanced Rescue Simulation Centre, a state-of-the-art facility designed to transform emergency and disaster response training across the continent.

Speaking ahead of the launch, UJ’s Vice-Chancellor and Principal, Professor Letlhokwa George Mpedi said:

“With this state-of-the-art Rescue Simulation Centre, we are redefining how emergency response training is delivered on the continent. There is no longer a need to travel abroad for world-class rescue training. It is right here at UJ. This facility serves not only our students but the nation.”

“UJ Rescue Simulation Centre stands as a symbol of hope, resilience, and progress, one that will shape a new generation of African rescue professionals equipped to confront the challenges of tomorrow.”
