Livingstone House
Livingstone House
Participation and house spirit are valued in Livingstone. The traditional Women’s Day Challenge held annually by Hobson Hall, for example, always provides the perfect opportunity for the smallest house in the Hall to show that spirit and determination can, indeed go a long way. There is also a strong emphasis on student leadership.
Warden
The House is lead by a strong student leadership team supported by Zukiswa Kota, the House Warden. An alumni of the Hall herself, Zuki is also responsible for postgraduate annexes: Gilbert 6 and 5 as well as the Livingstone Postgraduate Units situated near Livingstone.
Ms. Kota can be contacted on 046 603 8583 (after hours) or 046 603 8826 during office hours. Her email address is z.kota@ru.ac.za.

POSTGRADUATE ACCOMMODATION
POSTGRADUATE ACCOMMODATION
Livingstone is also home to eighteen postgraduate students; housed in different units and annexes in Gilbert Street.
Gilbert Street 6, a double storey stand-alone house is home to three students. There are the three upstairs bedrooms with a bathroom, kitchen and lounge with DSTV downstairs. Students share a washing machine, microwave, fridge and tumble dryer. This spacious house is ideal for mature postgraduate students looking for quiet accommodation.
Gilbert Street 5 is home to five students and is located across the street from Gilbert 6. Surrounded by a small and charming garden, the house is also spacious and quiet. Much like Gilbert 6, this is an ideal environment for postgraduate students looking for the convenience of residence life in a more intimate setting. Students share two bathrooms, a kitchen and lounge area.
Also attached to the Hall are eight individual Postgraduate units, each with an ensuite bathroom and study space. The Units offer private and convenient accommodation while allowing access to Gilbert Street 5 above for laundry and microwave facilities.
A small braai area offers the opportunity for relaxed social gatherings on weekends.
Maintenance and cleaning of each of the houses is attended to by Rhodes Housekeeping staff on a daily basis. Students are expected to maintain order in their personal rooms for the duration of their stay
