6 HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT
Ahmed Kathrada LLD (honoris causa)
Ahmed Kathrada is a struggle leader and a human rights activist of exceptional integrity, committed to non- racialism and democracy.
Kathrada’s career as a human rights activist began at the age of 12 when he distributed leaflets for the Young Communist League and was first imprisoned for his role as one of the 2000 volunteers who participated in the Passive Resistance Movement to oppose the Asiatic Land Tenure and Indian Representation Act in 1946.
Kathrada was a founding member of the Transvaal Indian Volunteer Corps and its successor, the Transvaal Indian Youth Congress. As the alliance between the African and Indian Congresses developed, Kathrada came into contact with Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu and other African leaders. As a leader of the Youth Action Committee, Kathrada worked tirelessly to promote joint action through the co-ordination of the youth wings of the African, Indian and other Congresses.
In 1955 he helped organise the multi-racial Congress of the People which proclaimed the Freedom Charter. In 1956 he was arrested for treason. The trial lasted from 1957 until March 1961.
Following a later sentence of “house arrest” he went underground but was arrested a year later with other leaders of the underground movement. He was charged, along with others, of organising and directing Umkhonto we Siwze and was sentenced, at the Rivonia Trial, to life imprisonment. He spent a total of 26 years in prison, during which time he obtained two undergraduate degrees BA (Honours) in History and a BA (Honours) in African Politics.
In 2008, he established the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation to promote dialogue and strengthen the practice and understanding of non-racialism. Through his ongoing work, Ahmed Kathrada continues to defend the values for which he so tirelessly fought.
7 HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT
Thulisile Nomkhosi Madonsela LLD (honoris causa)
Thulisile Nomkhosi Madonsela holds a BA in Law from the University of Swaziland and an LLB from the University of the Witwatersrand. Her career as a human rights lawyer, equality expert and policy specialist has included work in the trade union movement, in academia, and in the Constitutional Assembly in its drafting of the final Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. She participated in the drafting of numerous Bills in areas needing reform such as the right to equality, employment equity, customary law, local government, and the transformation of the composition of the judiciary. She has a longstanding involvement in organs of civil society including the South African Law Reform Commission
Thuli Madonsela’s term as Public Protector has been characterised by a fearless and principled pursuit of probity, efficiency and honesty in government at all levels of the public administration. She has pursued both the letter and spirit of her mandate with enormous vigour, determination and sensitivity. She has succeeded also in spreading her message to the broader public, whom she primarily serves, through her responsibility to Parliament.
Through her work, Madonsela has unremittingly promoted the values of the Constitution and has pursued accountability without fear or favour. Despite intense attention and the stresses of office, she has retained both decorum and a sense of perspective to become a symbol of the fight against all abuses of power.
The University of Cape Town honours Thuli Madonsela for her courageous execution of the duties of office of Public Protector, and her contribution to achieving and maintaining the values of “accountability, responsiveness and openness” which underlie the constitution that South Africa.
8 HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT
Dikgang Moseneke LLD (honoris causa)
Dikgang Moseneke, now the Deputy Chief Justice, was convicted of anti-apartheid crimes at age 15 and sentenced to ten years imprisonment on Robben Island. Whilst in prison he completed his schooling, and obtained a BA and BJuris. He later obtained an LLB. He founded his own firm and moved to the Bar in 1983. He played a central role in the drafting of the transitional Constitution of 1993, and was Deputy Chair of the Independent Electoral Commission for the 1994 election. In 2001 he was appointed to the High Court in Pretoria, and in 2002 to the Constitutional Court. In 2005 he was appointed Deputy Chief Justice.
Justice Moseneke has delivered a number of significant judgments on behalf of the Constitutional Court, including the judgment on e-tolling in Gauteng, and the appeal which set aside the establishment of the Hawks as insufficiently independent as a corruption-fighting agency.
Justice Moseneke has conducted himself with restraint and courtesy in fulfilling the duties of his office. On the bench, he is an eloquent and urbane participant in debates about the maintenance of the rule of law, democratic constitutionalism, and the transformation of our society in line with the values of the Constitution. He has demonstrated a commitment to justice and is fearlessly independent, especially in his defence of the independence of the judiciary – a core principle for any democracy.

16 In Criminology: Juliet Marie Berg Thesis Title: Polycentric Security Governance: Legitimacy, Accountability, and the Public Interest
Julie Berg has a BSocSc (Philosophy), a BSocScHons (Criminology) and an MSocSc (Criminology, with distinction), all from the University of Cape Town. Julie Berg’s thesis examines how power is constituted in hybrid polycentric systems of security governance. In particular, the thesis explores how legitimacy – as a form of power – is configured in Improvement Districts in South Africa, with a specific focus on three ways by which it is gained – through promoting public participation in decision-making, through policing nodes being transparent and accountable and through the delivery of effective security for the public good. The empirical findings of the thesis show that legitimacy may originate from multiple sources and that state and non-state policing nodes within polycentric security governance systems may undermine, enhance and/or co-produce democratic participation, accountability and security for the public interest. The thesis both challenges the normative tendency to associate democratic legitimacy with the state and contributes to the pressing question of how to theoretically account for the empirical reality of polycentric security governance systems.

36 In Mechatronics: Amir Patel Thesis Title: Understanding the Motions of the Cheetah Tail Using Robotics
Amir Patel obtained his BSc(Eng) (Mechatronics) from UCT in 2009. Subsequently he worked at Tellumat Defence as a software developer while simultaneously completing his MSc (Electrical Engineering) from UCT in 2011, on the topic of flight control systems. His PhD research has focused on bio-inspired robotics. Amir Patel’s thesis investigates the motions of the cheetah (Acinonyx Jubatus) tail during rapid manoeuvres to incorporate these into robotic systems. A multidisciplinary approach was followed whereby complex mathematical models, feedback controllers and novel robot platforms were developed to understand the system dynamics. Initially, the rolling motion of the cheetah tail was investigated and shown to increase roll stability during high-speed turn initiation. Similarly, the pitch axis was shown to increase stability during rapid acceleration and braking. The conical swing of the cheetah tail was found to impart a continuous roll torque on the body. Investigations into the cheetah tail biomechanics revealed that the aerodynamic effects were also significant in cheetah stability during rapid manoeuvres. The results of this thesis significantly expand our understanding of the adaptations of the cheetah and will inspire future robotic systems.

The book award for 2015 is to be awarded to:
Sa’diyya Shaikh Sufi Narratives of Intimacy
What is the nature of being human within the Islamic tradition? What does it mean to be a gendered human being? These are two questions that Sa’diyya Shaikh’s book on thirteenth-century Sufi poet, mystic, and legal scholar, Muḥyi al-Din Ibn al-Arabi, seeks to answer. Shaikh grounds her research in Islamic epistemology, and attends to the ways in which Sufi metaphysics and theology allow for fundamental shifts in Islamic gender ethics and legal formulations. In so doing so, she addresses the wide-ranging contemporary challenges of our times such as questions of Muslim women’s rights in marriage and divorce, the politics of hijab, and women’s leadership of Islamic ritual prayer.
Drawing on Ibn Arabi’s approach to the nature of being human, the book deconstructs traditional binaries between the spiritual and the political, between private conceptions of spiritual development and public notions of social justice, and between the realms of inner refinement and those of communal virtue. As such this book raises a number of critical questions and possibilities on the nature of selfhood, subjectivity, spirituality and society. This work contributes to debates in Islamic feminism as well as feminist ethics more broadly.
The book has received positive reviews in international journals. Dilyana Mincheva (Religion and Gender) describes it as “a groundbreaking feminist study…the unmatched merit of Shaikh’s study is in her sensitivity towards the complexity and profundity of the religious concepts involved… Such an analytical attempt is currently non-existent in the scholarly literature on religion and gender and, most probably, Shaikh’s work will serve as a landmark study for future developments, “ while Vernon Schubel in the American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences states that “it succeeds brilliantly as a scholarly examination of Ibn Arabi’s work and as an example of feminist scholarship at its very best”
MERITORIOUS PUBLICATION AWARD
The University Meritorious Publication Awards recognise noteworthy monographs and books published by UCT authors. These publications merit recognition for their contribution to learning and scholarship:
Biko: A Life by Xolela Mangcu
49 THE UNIVERSITY CREATIVE WORKS AWARD
The University Creative Works Award recognises the production of outstanding and/or influential creative works (art works, performances, productions, compositions, architectural design) that make a scholarly contribution.
Mark Fleishman “Every Year, Everyday, I am Walking”
Every Year, Everyday, I am Walking, created by Mark Fleishman in collaboration with performers, Jennie Reznek and Faniswa Yisa, was created at the end of 2006 as a commission from the African Festival for Children and Youth Theatre in Yaounde, Cameroon. It has been performed almost continuously since then throughout South Africa and in 18 countries around the world: Cameroon, the UK (3 times), Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia, Tanzania, Malawi, Swaziland, Mozambique, Argentina, India, Brazil (twice), Sweden, Japan (twice), Germany, France and the USA.
Every Year, Everyday, I am Walking traces the perpetual movement across the continent and towards Cape Town of a mother and daughter from an unnamed francophone African country whose home has been destroyed through violent action and then chronicles the difficulty of their integrating in Cape Town. It attempts to make the ‘invisible’ community of migrants visible through theatre by using the body as a surface on which to read the traces of experience laid down through the perpetual movement those who have been displaced from the places they call home are doomed to, and in ways that remain true to the silencing at the heart of the migrant experience, the loss of language, voice and agency and the unspeakability of an environment suffused with intense and persistent violence and the various registers of affect that it engenders.
The production sets out to capture this “unspeakability” of the experience of displacement; the sense of “being- on-the-move” at the heart of this experience; the haunting presence of those, and that, left behind and all with the minimum of means. It chooses to limit the words spoken and to use the body as the primary means of expression, to search for a vocabulary of gestures, physical images and choreographic sequences and a sense of disrupted flow, a stop-start rhythm of perpetual movement set against a dense original musical score by South African musician and composer, Neo Muyanga.
The combination of musical score and the compounding and growing sense of despair articulated through the physical expression creates a dense and unrelenting tapestry of affect that expands in the open space as the audience is moved from the playful innocence of childhood to the unbearable experience of displacement. At the same time it manages to modulate the sense of despair through humour, the careful treatment of character and relationship, and the beauty of its physical score. All of this allows for a sense of hope and possibility to remain with the audience when they leave the theatre.

51 HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT
John Britten Wright DLitt (honoris causa)
John Britten Wright, a pre-eminent scholar and a gifted linguist, is responsible for the bulk of the work that opens the James Stuart Archive to research and for a large body of research on the later eras of the pre-colonial past of south-east Africa. The pre-colonial past is one of the most under-researched areas of southern African history, and the one where the overlay of colonial- and apartheid- era obfuscation is both the most prevalent and pernicious. Wright’s scholarship enables the stripping away of this overlay, and lays the groundwork for serious scholarly alternatives.
Much of his scholarship has been dedicated to the James Stuart Archive – a unique record of transcriptions made between 1890 and 1910, of the events and thinking that prevailed in the nineteenth century as described by the indigenous inhabitants of the region. The six volume James Stuart Archive is a central source for the history of south-east Africa before 1910. Through its careful editorial interventions and translations it has opened the material to researchers from a range of disciplines and enables scholars to move beyond colonial-era orthodoxies.
The fifth volume met with wide acclaim, and was awarded the Text Prize of the African Studies Association (USA) in 2003 for the best edited work. Wright has also written about the creation of the volumes, describing the complexity of the task, meticulous nature of the methodology, the challenges of the translation from archaic Zulu, and the ways editorial decisions in turn influenced its published form.
Wright’s contributions to scholarship on late independent and early colonial history of the region has shaped the field and challenged the settler versions of the history. The University recognises and honours John Britten Wright for his extraordinary scholarship on the pre-colonial history of the region and his development of archive that enables wider scholarship.

73 HISTORICAL SKETCH
Founded as the South African College (a boys’ school that aimed to provide higher education as well) in 1829, the University was established as the University of Cape Town in 1918.
The early history was one of great expectations and hard times and it was not until the early years of the twentieth century that the University was developed into a fully-fledged tertiary institution. A significant and pioneering development in the 19th century was the admission of women as degree students in 1886, many years ahead of most universities in the world.
At the start of the 20th century the University incorporated the Diocesan College, the teacher training classes of the Normal College, the South African College of Music and the Cape Town Schools of Fine Art and Architecture.
The Medical School was established and in the 1920s the University began a partnership with the local health authority (now the Provincial Government’s health department) that saw the Medical School move from the Hiddingh Campus and the Green Point Somerset Hospital to Observatory (the rest of UCT’s Upper Campus moved from Hiddingh to its present site, on part of Cecil Rhodes’ estate, in 1928). This partnership allowed for the construction of the first Groote Schuur Hospital on a University site. The partnership continues to this day and now involves not only Groote Schuur as a teaching hospital but Red Cross Children’s Hospital, Valkenberg and a growing number of primary health care sites.
The period between the end of World War II and 1994 was marked by two themes. Firstly, the University recognised that if it was to be fully South African, it would have to move beyond academic non-segregation to be fully inclusive. It would have to face the consequential and increasing clashes with a government determined to legislate for segregation and enforce the doctrine of apartheid. And secondly, the University intended to transform into a leading research institution.
Before World War II, the University was largely a teaching university and its students were mostly undergraduates. The research undertaken was sporadic, though in some cases notable. A research committee was appointed for the first time in 1945. The next 75 years saw a great expansion of research and scholarly work such that the UCT of 2014 has a greater proportion of highly rated researchers and gains significantly more research grants and awards than any other South African University.
The 1980s and 1990s were characterized by the deliberate and planned transformation of the student body. This was aided by the establishment of the Academic Development Programme aimed at helping students from disadvantaged educational and social backgrounds to succeed and the desegregation of student residences. As a result, a student body that was 90% white in 1979, when UCT marked its 150th anniversary, is in 2014 more than 50% black. The total student enrolment of just above 26 000, includes international students drawn from over 100 countries, a significant proportion of which are from SADC states. Particular emphasis is placed on postgraduate studies and more than 20% of these students will be enrolled in master’s and doctoral programmes. A growing number of postdoctoral fellows contribute substantially to the research endeavours and reputation of the University (UCT has more than a third of the total number of post docs in South Africa).
UCT continues to work towards its goal to be Africa’s leading research university. Its success can be measured by the scope of study it offers and the calibre of its graduates.
74 MISSION STATEMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN
UCT aspires to become a premier academic meeting point between South Africa, the rest of Africa and the world. Taking advantage of expanding global networks and our distinct vantage point in Africa, we are committed, through innovative research and scholarship, to grapple with the key issues of our natural and social worlds. We aim to produce graduates whose qualifications are internationally recognised and locally applicable, underpinned by values of engaged citizenship and social justice. UCT will promote diversity and transformation within our institution and beyond, including growing the next generation of academics.
Foundation statement underpinning the mission statement Our research-led identity is shaped by a commitment to: • academic freedom as the prerequisite to fostering intellectual debate and free injury; • ensuring that research informs all our activities including teaching, learning and service to the community; • advancing and disseminating knowledge that addresses the key challenges facing society – South African, • continental and global; • protecting “curiosity driven” research; • nurturing and valuing creativity in the sciences and arts including the performing and creative arts; • stimulating international linkages of researchers and research groupings.
We strive to provide a superior quality educational experience for undergraduate and postgraduate students through: • providing an intellectually and socially stimulating environment; • inspired and dedicated teaching and learning; • exposure to the excitement of creating new knowledge; • stimulating the love of life-long learning; • the cultivation of competencies for global citizenship; • supporting programmes that stimulate the social consciousness of students; • offering access to courses outside the conventional curricula; • attracting a culturally and internationally diverse community of scholars; • guaranteeing internationally competitive qualifications; • offering a rich array of social, cultural, sporting and leadership opportunities; • providing an enabling physical and operational environment.
In advancing UCT as an Afropolitan university, we will: • expand our expertise on Africa and offer it to the world; • extend our networks on the continent, along with our global connections and partnerships; • promote student and staff exchanges and collaborative research and postgraduate programmes; • engage critically with Africa’s intellectuals and world views in teaching and research; • contribute to strengthening higher education on our continent.
We strive to provide an environment for our diverse student and staff community that: • promotes a more equitable and non-racial society; • supports redress in regard to past injustices; • is affirming and inclusive of all staff and students and promotes diversity in demographics, skills and backgrounds; • offers individual development opportunities to all staff; • is welcoming as a meeting space for scholars from Africa and around the world.

OFFICERS OF THE UNIVERSITY
83 Welcome, Wamkelekile, Welkom – today is not the end of your relationship with the university but the beginning of a new phase in your continuing relationship with UCT, one that you share with the UCT community of over 100 000 alumni. Diverse as this community is, the shared experiences of a critical academic ethos and a spectacular campus make for a strong network that has a wide footprint, not only in South Africa, but across the continent and the globe.
We set a great store by our links with our alumni, and indeed the links alumni have with each other. We promise that we will be in touch, and ask you in turn to let us know not only your current contact details but also, from time to time, something of your lives and where you are in your careers.
Updates can be done on the web – http://www.uct.ac.za/dad/alumni/update/ - or by writing to the Alumni Office, UCT, PB X3 Rondebosch 7701 or by contacting us on (27) (21) 650 3746.
Your alma mater looks forward to welcoming you back, whether to a public lecture, a leadership forum, your class reunion, or just an informal call!
