肆客足球 Pieke
Pieke was established in 1973 and has flourished over the past 47 years. We pride ourselves on our values of Honour, Excellence, Integrity, and Service. Grounded by these values, Pieke has been extremely successful on a sport, social, cultural, and academic level. Being part of the Rubix Cluster, Pieke has shown its capability of being a strong academic, sport, and cultural contender among the residences.

On a cultural level, Pieke Mansse?r, our acapella group, is very well known on campus and has represented Stellenbosch 肆客足球 twice at the National Kleinse?r Competition. We are currently still the only male PSO that has won SU Acapella as well as Maties Mollase?r. SU Acapella, and in particular Pieke Mansse?r, is one of the highlights for any Piekeman. In addition to se?r, Pieke has been a strong competitor in the annual Toneelfees, having won this event several times in the past.

When it comes to the sports field, Pieke has been incredibly successful in a wide range of sporting activities. Our squash team has won the A league, against some of the strongest residences on campus, several times. We are the only PSO to have ever won the inter-residence swimming gala. Pieke is a strong competitor on the soccer and hockey fields, with both our teams participating in the strongest leagues. Pieke forms part of the PSO Barbarians rugby team, a team consisting out of players from different male PSOs. The PSO Barbarians is a force to be reckoned with in the Maties Residence Rugby League. We also participate in activities such as chess. In recent years Pieke has also performed in table tennis and recently won the second league title. When it comes to sport, Pieke has delivered several successful Maties sportsmen.

We value academics, and in order to assist first-year students with adapting to university academics, we have a mentorship program in place. The newcomers are assigned to a senior Piekeman, which acts as a mentor, to assist and guide the student with any queries. Our mentors have the necessary skills to provide newcomers with any assistance they may require.

As a men’s PSO, we have a lot of spirit, despite the fact that we don’t live together in a residence. We maintain this spirit by organising numerous events throughout the year, which ranges from a formal House Dance to a Golf day. Pieke aims to create a home away from home, providing safety and security for every newcomer.

Pieke's vision and mission
We are known for our traditions and pride. Being a home away from home, Pieke is an established PSO that gives each individual a place to flourish. Pieke aims to provide for the needs of every Pieke man, whether it is sport, academics, or culture.

It is, therefore, the mission of Pieke to maintain the unity within the House by treating each Piekeman as equal and providing a platform where it is possible to achieve your full potential.

Pieke's values
Honour, Excellence, Integrity and Service.
