House Mopane is the most prestigious men's residence at the University of Pretoria. We are a home away from home for over 200 gentlemen and here we live our motto - "Through Unity Still Higher". A Mopaan aspires to be an officer and gentleman and a bastion of this place we call home. Mopane prides itself on being the best. Not only through our achievements but through the way we act. We believe in gentlemanly conduct, a strong brotherhood and doing everything for the House. For each and every Mopaan, Mopane isn’t just a place we eat, sleep and repeat – it’s a place we live.
