1 MANNENBERG
The musical piece for the processional march is Mannenberg, composed by Abdullah Ibrahim.
Recorded with Basil ‘Manenberg’ Coetzee, Paul Michaels, Robbie Jansen, Morris Goldberg and Monty Weber, Mannenberg was released in June 1974.
The piece was composed against the backdrop of the District Six forced removals. It is named after the Cape Town township of Manenberg, which was established when the residents of District Six settled there. Mannenberg stands out as a uniquely South African piece: it blends together South African musical forms (marabi, mbaqanga and langarm) and American jazz. The song became a rallying cry against the injustices of apartheid and the particular destruction it wrought on communities. With its upbeat melodies and buoyant hook, the piece also serves a celebration of the resilience and endurance of humanity in the face of the brutalities of the apartheid regime.
Mannenberg is arguably South African jazz’s most famous export, and still stands as an anthem of hope and of fortitude for oppressed communities. It also serves as a reminder of the inhumanity of what this country and this city endured, and of the legacies of that inhumanity.

7 SOCIAL RESPONSIVENESS AWARD
The Social Responsiveness Award provides an institutional signal to members of the University that social responsiveness is an important priority.
BERTHA CENTRE FOR SOCIAL INNOVATION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP
The Bertha Centre for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship is the first academic centre in Africa dedicated to advancing social innovation and entrepreneurship. It was established in 2011 as a unit in the Graduate School of Business supported by the Bertha Foundation – a family foundation that works with catalysts for social and economic change.
The award goes to the Bertha Centre, comprising its staff and Bertha Scholars as an organisation chosen for its research and response to social challenges across several sectors, for whom the creation of engaged and sustainable relationships between the University and social change actors in civil society, business and government is central.
Social innovation is an academic, transdisciplinary field that is rooted in practice. It seeks to apply innovative thinking and business models towards accelerating social outcomes. It is a complex human-centred process involving new ways of relating, doing, organizing, and knowing. The approach of the Bertha Centre is to uncover, connect and pioneer social innovations and social entrepreneurs that work to generate inclusive opportunities and advance social justice in our country and continent.
Since inception, the Bertha Centre has uncovered over 300 innovative models and solutions in education, health and other social impact fields; involved over5,000 citizens and practitioners across sectors; tested the feasibility of innovative social solutions; and produced over 12 formal knowledge outputs from this work in publicly available reports and journal articles, in addition to numerous student dissertations and media articles. Four examples of this work are:
• Longstanding partnerships of support and engagement with two leading social enterprises in the Western Cape: R-Labs in Bridgetown, Athlone and Silulo Ulutho Technologies in Khayelitsha both of whom promote social innovation and entrepreneurship emerging from local communities. These partnerships have generated numerous projects and created mutual learning opportunities for UCT students and the organisations. • The Social Franchise Accelerator where the Bertha Centre partnered with an international NGO and a local social franchise consultancy to deliver workshops to 40 organisations, and an intensive one-year programme to assist four social change organisations to scale their impact through replication. These organisations included Ikamva Youth, Philani, and U-turn Homeless Ministries. • Building an ecosystem for outcomes-based financing: the Bertha Centre has created a collaborative platform to bring government departments, NGOs and social investors together to explore ways of achieving outcomes in priority areas. The Centre worked across three government departments, a cohort of foundations and investors and over 70 NGOs to co-design a social impact bond as an innovative financial instrument to improve outcomes of early childhood development programmes. The work has also been the subject of several student dissertations and was presented at local and international conferences.
8 SOCIAL RESPONSIVENESS AWARD (CONTINUED)
• Groote Schuur Hospital Health Innovation Hub: building on its work of designing social innovation hubs (such as the MTN Solution Space at the GSB), the Bertha Centre has established a partnership together with Groote Schuur Hospital and the Faculty of Health Sciences to promote service innovation in the public health sector. Over the last 18 months the Bertha Centre has worked with the hospital management, the Facilities Board trust and the Western Cape Government to support 17 staff projects to improve public health care delivery, and invest in 10 of them. A replicable innovation curriculum has been developed for public hospitals, and two books have been published, profiling health care innovators at GSH and in South Africa at large.
At the Graduate School of Business, the Bertha Centre team has played a leading role in integrating civil society, social entrepreneurs, business and government involved in social innovation into the campus. Social Innovation & Entrepreneurship is now one of the GSB’s three key thematic areas and in 2016, and the GSB school will offer the first MBA in the world to have Social Innovation in its core curriculum.
These are but a few examples to demonstrate how the Bertha Centre with its Faculty, PASS staff, and scholars, has taken an integrated approach to engaged scholarship and social responsiveness.
PRESIDENT OF CONVOCATION MEDAL
MDA MDA
The President of Convocation Medal is awarded anually to an alumnus or alumna who has made a significant contribution to the common good.
Mda Mda was born to parents Simeon and Leah (nee Mzimba) in the rural village of Ncambedlana, Mthatha in the Eastern Cape, in 1923. He matriculated from Lovedale College in 1940 and obtianed the BA and a Diploma in Education at Fort Hare. In 1944, he enrolled at the University of Cape Town’s Law Faculty for an LLB degree. He was unable to complete this qualification and ended up leaving the City in 1946, giving up his dream of becoming an Advocate. Two years later he took articles in a law firm in Mthatha and after six years’ experience, started practising as an attorney in Mqanduli, a practice he continued until 2001. In 2015, at the age of 92, Mda remains active in the law as an advisor and mentor in his community of Mthatha.
9 HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENTS
Post humus Johannes de Villiers Graaff DEconSc(honoris causa)
Jannie Graaff, as he was better know, attained greater eminence in academic economics than any other South African. His 1957 book, Theoretical Welfare Economics on taxation, inequality and poverty was described in its preface by Nobel laureate, Paul Samuelson, as “a classic in its own time” and is still praised by contemporary economists.
Although Graaff pursued a career in business he continued to write on economic theory and was highly esteemed in the academy. In the 1980’s he was invited to take up a fellowship in at All Souls, Oxford. He remained a member of the Economic Society of South Africa, and twice served as chair.
Much of his work addressed practical issues of income distribution and tax reform, and he was a member of the Margo Commission (1984), Katz Commission (1994- 97), and the Tax Advisory Committee. He served on the Economic Advisory Council and the Competition Board. His impact on South African life was as great as his impact on his academic discipline.
Graaff made an enduring contribution to economics internationally and locally. His contributions to scholarship and to the practical affairs of the country were remarkable. He was able to show the links between the abstract theory of classical welfare and the practical challenges of the real world, his long career was a model of engaged scholarship.
Kenneth Reid LLD (honoris causa)
Kenneth Reid is an internationally renowned scholar of property law and comparative law whose work has had a profound impact on law and legal scholarship.
Reid’s most outstanding accomplishment has been his work a Commissioner of the Scottish Law Commission where for a decade he directed the drafting of the statutes necessary to replace the feudal system in Scotland. His 1996 ground breaking book The Law of Property in Scotland reconceptualises the law of property in terms of a theory that included both moveable and immoveable property, has provided the framework for property law in Scotland.
Reid is also a leading scholar of mixed legal systems and this aspect of his scholarship has involved a number of South Africans. His collaboration with South African scholars since 1994 has led to a number of productive joint academic projects, including the volume on Mixed Legal Systems in Comparative Perspective: Property and Obligations in Scotland and South Africa (Oxford, 2004).
Kenneth Reid is a pre-eminent jurist who has played a pivotal role over the past two decades in the promotion of private law scholarship at a local, regional and global level.

(In absentia) RENÉE CHRISTINE KRAAN-KORTEWEG Professor of Astronomy
Renee Kraan-Korteweg joined the University of Cape Town in 2005 as the Professor of Astronomy. After a decade under her scientific leadership, the Astronomy Department has been transformed from a small academic department into a large and vibrant community of multi-wavelength astronomers – including four A-rated researchers and two SARChI chairholders – who are leading large international scientific projects on world- class facilities such as SALT (the Southern African Large Telescope) and MeerKAT (the SKA- precursor radio telescope).
11 FELLOWSHIP (CONTINUED)
Professor Kraan-Korteweg enjoys a very high academic standing in the international community of (radio) astronomers for her work on large-scale structures in the Zone of Avoidance.
The Zone of Avoidance results from the foreground extinction of the Milky Way, causing galaxies to appear increasingly fainter the closer they lie to the Galactic Equator. This Zone of Avoidance obscures about 25% of optically visible galaxies. A “whole-sky” map of galaxies is, however, essential for understanding the dynamics in our local Universe, and it is in this field of research, that she has had major scientific impact, leading amongst others, to a number of highly cited publications in Nature. She was instrumental in discovering a large nearby spiral galaxy, named Dwingeloo 1, hidden by the disk of the Milky Way (her paper in Nature, 1994). Discovering a previously unknown large galaxy in the nearby Universe has important implications for our understanding of the local galaxy dynamics. In her 1996 Nature paper, she showed for the first time that major galaxy clusters do exist close to or within the Zone of Avoidance.
The recognition of Professor Kraan-Korteweg as an international leader in her field ensured that her successful bids for two SARChI chairs in (radio) astronomy at UCT were filled quickly by distinguished international radio astronomers, creating a critical mass of top-level research in the study of neutral hydrogen in the Universe. This is a key science theme for the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) and its precursor MeerKAT. She is the Chair of the South African Astronomy Advisory Council, and was elected vice-president of the International Astronomical Union for a 6-year term. In the nearly 100-year history of the International Astronomical Union, she is only the third astronomer from South Africa to occupy this position (after Professors Feast and Warner). She was instrumental in co-founding the UCT-accredited research centre in Astrophysics, Cosmology and Gravity and has created strong links with national facilities in both optical and radio astronomy through joint positions between UCT and the facilities.

The following members of the Faculty of Health Sciences have been elected to a fellowship:
VALERIE MIZRAHI Professor and Director of the Institute for Infectious Disease and Molecular Medicine
Valerie Mizrahi is an international leader in the field of tuberculosis (TB) research.
She studies aspects of the physiology and metabolism of Mycobacterium tuberculosis of relevance to TB drug resistance, efficacy and discovery, and to mycobacterial persistence. She is best known for elucidating mechanisms of metabolic and physiological adaptation of M. tuberculosis to conditions encountered during host infection. A major theme of her research has been the study of enzymes involved in DNA metabolism. She moved into the TB field in the early 1990s, at the start of the genomic era. Her analysis of the repertoire of DNA repair genes in M. tuberculosis led to the surprising discovery that this organism lacks a canonical system for mismatch repair – a finding with profound implications for the evolution of inter-strain variation and drug resistance through chromosomal mutation. In collaboration with colleagues at the NIH, Professor Mizrahi discovered a novel system for DNA damage tolerance in mycobacteria, and demonstrated a role for the DnaE2 polymerase in the evolution of drug resistance in vivo. Her team subsequently showed that DnaE2 acts as the translesion DNA polymerase in DNA damage tolerance and SOS mutagenesis and that it acts as part of a larger system – a “mutasome” – which involves other proteins. This, together with her work on nucleotide metabolism in mycobacteria, has provided fundamental insights into the mechanisms of DNA replication, repair and mutagenesis in mycobacteria, and has contributed significantly to the positioning of M. tuberculosis as a new model organism in the field of Microbiology.
42 FELLOWSHIP (CONTNUED)
Professor Mizrahi’s team has elucidated fundamental aspects of energy metabolism and cofactor metabolism in mycobacteria. In collaboration with colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania, Professor Mizrahi’s team functionally characterised the aerobic respiratory chain in mycobacteria which has subsequently emerged as a major target for TB drug discovery. One of the reagents developed in Professor Mizrahi’s laboratory is being used in the TB Drug Accelerator programme of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to identify small molecule inhibitors of M. tuberculosis which inhibit respiration. And her team has developed new tools which harness the power of phenotypic and target-based approaches to enable the identification of target-selective small molecules with growth-inhibitory activity against M. tuberculosis, and are being routinely applied in major international TB drug discovery consortia.
Professor Mizrahi holds an A rating from the NRF and her numerous awards include the 2000 Unesco-L’Oréal ‘For Women in Science’ Award (for Africa & Arab States Region) and the 2013 Christophe Mérieux Prize from the Christophe and Rodolphe Mérieux Foundation and the Institut de France.
(In absentia) GARY MAARTENS Professor and Director of the Institute for Infectious Disease and Molecular Medicine
Professor Gary Maartens has made important original scientific contributions in clinical research in the fields of HIV and tuberculosis.
His research on the diagnosis, prevention, and optimal co-treatment of HIV-associated tuberculosis has influenced national and international guidelines. He has also conducted research into the effectiveness, adherence, and healthcare costs of antiretroviral therapy in South Africa.
He led the first randomised controlled trial of adjunctive steroids for tuberculosis-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome, which occurs in up to 40% of co-infected patients starting antiretroviral therapy, showing reduced morbidity. He led a randomised controlled trial of patient-nominated treatment supporters to improve adherence, resulting in reduced mortality. Finally, he led the first randomised controlled trial of preventing tuberculosis in people with HIV on antiretroviral therapy published in the Lancet in 2014, showing that preventive therapy was effective irrespective of tuberculin skin test status. Previous studies, which were done in people not on antiretroviral therapy, had shown that only those with positive tuberculin skin tests benefitted from preventive therapy.
43 FELLOWSHIP (CONTNUED)
(In absentia) BONGANI MAWETHU MAYOSI Professor of Medicine in the Department of Medicine
Professor Mayosi has made significant original contributions to knowledge in the fields of poverty-related heart diseases and genetics of cardiomyopathy and fibrosis.
He assembled the Investigation of the Management of Pericarditis (IMPI) research programme to study the clinical, immunological, and biochemical features of tuberculous pericarditis, and revealed that in tuberculous pericarditis, steroids: a) do not reduce the incidence of the combined outcome of death, cardiac tamponade or constriction, b) increase the incidence of HIV-associated cancer, c) reduce the incidence of constrictive pericarditis and hospitalisation regardless of HIV status.
The findings of IMPI have set a new standard for clinical practice.
He has established the Global Rheumatic Heart Disease Registry to provide information on the clinical characteristics, treatment, outcomes and barriers to care of rheumatic heart disease. REMEDY – the first and largest multi-centre study of rheumatic heart disease - has shown that rheumatic heart disease is a disease of the young that is associated with a heavy burden of complications, and major gaps in the use of proven interventions such as penicillin for secondary prophylaxis, oral anticoagulants for those at risk for stroke, and a dearth of contraceptive services for women. He has also made notable contributions to studies of incidence of rheumatic heart disease, cost-effectiveness of primary prevention, and genetics of rheumatic heart disease.
Professor Mayosi has made key discoveries in the field of genetics and has created a unique global resource for genotypephenotype correlation studies in cardiomyopathy. He observed a new inherited condition of multisystem fibrosis, and conducted a whole-exome sequencing experiment which led to the discovery of mutations in‘ family with a sequence similarity’ gene as the cause of the disease. Thus FAM 1 1 1 B is a critical gene in the development of multisystem fibrosis, which is a key pathological process in human disease. This new biological pathway to fibrosis provides a novel target for intervention to prevent and treat fibrosis. His contributions have also had an important impact on patient management.
44 FELLOWSHIP (CONTNUED)
RAJKUMAR RAMESAR Professor of Human Genetics
Raj Ramesar’s research is on disease susceptibility in African populations, progressing from the commonly recognised inherited diseases to those that are more complex yet more common and relevant to our burden of disease.
Having engaged with families along the West Coast of South Africa where an hereditary form of cancer was a major concern, Professor Ramesar sought to identify the genetic predisposing factor which leads to the disease. After extensive field work he discovered the genetic mutation linked to colorectal cancer in these communities. His immediate priority was to bring world-class medical intervention to those at risk. He and his team developed an intervention programme that included genetic counselling and predictive genetic testing to identify individuals most likely to develop the cancer. This programme has involved colleagues in the Surgical Colorectal Unit at Groote Schuur Hospital and has been running for more than 20 years; it has successfully contributed to significantly lowering mortality and morbidity in these communities. His work has attracted international attention to these families – and brought a clinical trial to these remote communities which showed that aspirin had the effect of delaying the onset of colorectal cancer by up to 10 years in those carrying the disease-causing mutation.
Retinal Degenerative Diseases (RDDs), leading to blindness, have historically proven to be recalcitrant. Professor Ramesar has worked with the patient support group, Retina South Africa for more than 25 years in developing a national research programme, which relies on recruitment of families with RDDs. This has led to the identification of the genetic and biological basis of disease in up to 50% of people recruited into the programme. The understanding of the biological basis of disease now allows the possibility of predictive and confirmatory diagnostic testing, as well as potential interventions such as gene therapy. Knowing exactly which gene is defective in any individual/ family has paved the way for the development of novel biological therapeutics.
45 SOCIAL RESPONSIVENESS
The Social Responsiveness Award provides an institutional signal to members of the University that social responsiveness is an important priority:
ROSHAN GALVAN and LIESL PETERS Division of Occupational Therapy Department of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences,
Roshan Galvaan and Liesl Peters’ scholarship has recast Occupational Therapy beyond its traditional borders towards addressing the sociopolitical realities and pressing social concerns facing South Africans in their everyday lives. Paying careful attention to the way that research serves society has changed the practice of occupational therapy in community development settings and has generated new knowledge.
Their authentic partnerships with communities are long-standing, a testament to their commitment to the processes of development. The emphasis in their work is on the collaborative identification of critical areas of health and social needs and the development of practice in collaboration with communities. These partnerships provide scope for student learning while offering interventions that address social exclusion.
Developing and introducing the Occupation-based Community Development Practice Framework, commonly referred to as OBCD, as a theoretical frame, has provided students and practitioners with a tool for initiating and designing contextually-relevant interventions with communities. This framework introduces students to practices that are relevant to contexts shaped by challenging social, political, economic and cultural realities. Under Galvaan and Peters’ guidance, occupational therapy students have shifted their practice to be able to respond to the pressing needs of individuals, groups and organisations in the education, social development and health arenas. Teaching has focused on the design of innovative interventions in these contexts and the development and application of participatory methods suited to such interventions. Students have the opportunity to apply contextually relevant knowledge and also contribute to new knowledge development through service learning. This influences the ongoing conceptual development of OBCD.
Their work demonstrates that a compelling commitment to the confluence of research, teaching and service in addressing social realities can advance positive social change for vulnerable groups and much needed change in the profession. Their occupational therapy graduates who continue to engage with such issues revolutionise occupational therapy practice, ensuring that it responds more actively to the conditions of peoples’ lives.

The following members of the Faculty of Health Sciences have been elected to a fellowship:
KEERTAN UNKA JAIRAN DHEDA Professor in the Department of Medicine
Keertan Dheda’s main research interest is the study of multi-drug resistant pulmonary infections including TB.
His work has enabled more rapid diagnosis of drug-resistant TB, avoids redundant and expensive drugs, has found ways in which survival of patients with drug-resistant TB can be improved, has defined when therapy should be withdrawn in destitute patients, how healthcare workers should be optimally diagnosed, and is currently evaluating a new treatment regimen for drug-resistant TB. These measures will help the lot of drug-resistant TB in general, but will also help individual patients and families who rely on these patients who come from vulnerable communities. In South Africa, more than half the drug-resistant TB remains undiagnosed in the community. Professor Dheda’s methodology and study incorporates the use of novel diagnostic technologies on a mobile van stationed at congregate settings, e.g shopping centres, in previously disadvantaged townships. This approach has revealed that advanced diagnostic technologies do not have to be restricted to central laboratories, but can be deployed in peripheral health outposts and TB hotspots. This has ushered in the placement of these technologies in prisons, mines, and certain high burden TB clinics. Professor Dheda’s work has shaped policy on how healthcare workers should be screened and diagnosed for drug-resistant TB. It has highlighted the problem of drug-resistant TB in healthcare workers, already in short supply in the country, and has played a seminal role in prioritising the rollout of infection control measures nationally within hospitals and clinics.
56 FELLOWSHIP (CONTINUED)
He holds three patents related to new TB diagnostic or infection control technologies, one of which is currently being developed as a user-friendly test for extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. His work has resulted in several seminal publications in journals such as The Lancet. He is the Chief Editor of the South African Respiratory Journal and also serves on other editorial boards. He has established an international collaborative network and a research programme in which several Master’s and PhD students are currently enrolled; and he has been involved in several capacity-building related global health programmes.

89 ORIGIN OF THE BACHELOR DEGREE
The term ‘Bachelor’ derives from ancient ceremonies (the first such was believed to have been at Oxford in 1432) held to honour achievements of scholarship. The word derives from bacca lauri (laurel berry). Instead of the hoods we use today to signify your graduation, graduands of old wore garlands of laurel leaves and berries.
So the term has nothing to do with our modern understandings of what being a bachelor means, and everything to do with a long tradition of celebrating high achievement.

92 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.
93 MISSION STATEMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN
