CAPE TOWN - The Wilgenhof Alumni Association says its dispute with Stellenbosch University has been resolved with an out-of-court settlement.
Wilgenhof Residence made headlines last year after disturbing items related to past initiation practices were found in its archives.
A decision by the university to close and rename the residence spurred the alumni to approach the courts to halt the process.
"We are pleased that an impasse has been resolved as to the naming process of the residence. This has paved the way for the settlement of the matter. The alumni look forward to working with the university management to harness the new energy in support of a proudly world-class men's residence" said Wilgenhof Alumni Association spokesperson Jaco Rabie.
