Nelson Mandela University

The Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in Port Elizabeth has relaunched itself as the Nelson Mandela University. The university says the new name affords them an opportunity to rethink the kind of university it can, and should become as it contributes to the resolution of the myriad of educational and developmental challenges –in line with late former president Nelson Mandela’s legacy. “The launch of Nelson Mandela University will not only be a celebration of the efforts to be named after this great leader, but of the University’s commitment to transformation and truly living out its values – which mirror those of Mandela – that includes Ubuntu, integrity and respect for diversity,” the university said.

It will have to liberate the minds of the oppressed and awaken them to the potential of African scholarship. “It will have to remove the cloak of institutionalised racism and sexism. It will have to promote an African renaissance and contribute, through teaching and research, to the making of the African Century.” The Deputy President added that the university must remain rooted in answering the challenges that confront our society in a global economy and that serves the continent and her … [Read more...]
