Background

The University of Pretoria (UP) was established in 1908 as the Pretoria campus of the Johannesburg-based Transvaal University College.  It became the University of Pretoria in 1930 and in 1932 it was decided that Afrikaans would become the only medium of instruction.  This changed after 1982 when the university transformed into a bilingual, multi-cultural and inclusive institution and in 2019, a new language policy was adopted which discontinued Afrikaans as a language of instruction in favour of English only.

UP is today one of South Africa's largest research educational institutions with over 55 000 students enrolled in nine faculties and a business school.  Its School of Engineering, Veterinary and Law Faculties are ranked No. 1 in Africa.

Sonop Christian Residence

Sonop (Afrikaans for sunrise) Christian Residence (Sonop Christelike Tehuis) is a private male residence at the University of Pretoria.  It has "A rectangular flag proportion 2:3, per chevron Gules and Azure, in chief a sun issuant and in base a descending dove, over all a pall inverted all Or"  which was registered at the Bureau of Heraldry on 26 October 2012 (Government Gazettes 35625 dated 31 August 2012 and 35808 dated 26 October 2012).  The basic layout, i.e. the colours and the inverted pall, clearly come from the university's Coat of Arms.
