Newly installed UCT VC to position university as a catalyst for change in Africa, while embracing African values
“I look forward to the future as we journey together, as we consolidate the three missions of UCT, explore the fourth mission of UCT: positioning UCT as a catalyst for change in Africa.
“All this whilst we embrace our African values of ubuntu – “I am because you are”, lift others as we rise and leave no one behind. And we do this with compassion. Remember, UCT is not just the bricks and mortar, it is also all of us – past, present and future generations.”
