Rensché has a BA degree, Higher Diploma in Education, B.A. Honours BA in Geography and a Postgraduate Diploma in Governance and is currently busy with his Masters degree in Public Administration. He obtained all his qualifications from the University of the Western Cape.

Rensché manages ten staff members who are responsible for the administration of private bursaries, government bursaries and loans, postgraduate bursaries, the Workstudy Programme and the Desmond Tutu Bookleasing Scheme. His colleagues regard him as well skilled, disciplined, friendly, very helpful and an accommodating person. Having been a student himself during the difficult years of apartheid, he is well aware of the needs of the impoverished masses of South Africa. He lives out his motto as is found in the Scripture, Galatians 6:2 "help to carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will obey the law of Christ".

UWC and its students are eternally grateful for the unselfish work done by Professor Bob Wolff. We wish to extend a special word of thanks to all the individuals and sponsors who have made financial contributions to the cause of Professor Wolff and the academically gifted, but financially needy South Africans. We appeal to you to continue to invest in the future of South Africa and its people.
