This year the summer graduation was held outdoors on the steps of Sarah Baartman Hall and the Plaza. “This is time to reflect on the year that has gone and to think about your future. It is time to celebrate the holiday spirit. And what a brilliant way to start our celebration by celebrating you,” said Chancellor Dr Precious Moloi-Motsepe in her address to the graduates.
