[edit] Sports, clubs, and traditions
UCT has 43 different sports clubs, including team sports, individual sports, extreme sports and martial arts. [1] The university's sports teams, and in particular the rugby union team, are known as the "Ikey Tigers" or the "Ikeys". The "Ikey" nickname originated in the 1910s originated as an anti-semitic epithet applied to UCT students by the students of Stellenbosch University, because of the supposed large number of Jewish students at UCT.[2] Stellenbosch is UCT's traditional rugby opponent; an annual "Intervarsity" match is played between the two universities.
