The University of Cape Town’s (UCT) Vision 2030 strategy’s goal is to unleash human potential in pursuing a just and fair society. This vision is built on three core pillars: sustainability, excellence, and transformation. Aligned with this strategy, UCT has implemented a range of transformative initiatives to foster a more inclusive, non-discriminatory academic environment. These efforts reinforce the university’s commitment to becoming a place where all individuals feel respected, valued, and have a true sense of belonging.
The Rhodes Must Fall movement is one of the student-led societal uprisings that can rightfully claim to have reignited decolonial discourse and scholarship in the African continent and beyond.
