Three faculty members of that department were the instructors, and two Zulu-speaking students from the department were selected as tutors to the students. • For the academic component of the Program students lived in single rooms in a dormitory on the attractive campus of UNP, located in the inland town of Pietermaritzburg, about one hour from the provincial capital, Durban. The Program achieved the same combination of classroom, tutorials and periods of immersion as the previous years.
