President Zuma Launches Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University President Zuma launches Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University Siyabonga Nxumalo President Jacob Zuma and the Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr Blade Nzimande officially launched the Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University in Garankuwa, Pretoria on the 14th of April 2015. Sefako Makgato Health Sciences University opened its doors in January 2015 after a de‐merger from the University of Limpopo. The new university will go beyond training medical doctors. It will also produce other health professionals such as dentists, nurses, physiotherapists, medical technologists, radiographers and many more. Currently the university has enrolled 5034 students and the number of students enrolling is expected to increase to 7000 by 2019 and 10 000 by 2024. President Zuma said that South Africa is faced with an extensive shortage and an inadequate distribution of health professionals. “The country has an undersupply of new and appropriately trained health science graduates. The establishment of Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University therefore provides an excellent opportunity for the development and training of a new generation of health professionals who will make a positive impact on the lives and livelihoods of the many South Africans still marginalised by poverty and lack of access to health services” said Zuma. Historic moment: President of the Republic, His Excellency Jacob Zuma and the Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr Blade Nzimande unveil the statue of the late former President of the ANC Mr Sefako Mapogo Makgatho at the launch of the Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University in Garankuwa, Pretoria on the 14th of June 2015. The university is the first stand‐alone health sciences university in the country. Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University is the third new university in South Africa. Last year the Sol Plaatje University in the Northern Cape and the University of Mpumalanga were opened. Both provinces previously did not have a university. In his State of the Nation Address on the 17th of June 2014, President Zuma indicated that education remains an apex priority of government. “Government will continue to invest in education and skills as the key to economic growth and development. Today’s event is another example of the fulfilment of that commitment” he said. The university will recruit students from communities with the greatest health care needs, and provide innovative training programmes, including distance programmes which will provide students from all over the country with access to quality health care education. For the 2015/16 financial year an amount of more than R298m has been allocated in the form of a university subsidy to support the operations of the institution. In addition, government has also allocated R210 million to support the establishment of this new university. Zuma encouraged learners to take up mathematics and science as more opportunities are now available for them to study; “We also encourage our learners to take up mathematics and science as more opportunities are now available for further study for them in this field. We are also investing in teacher training so that we can produce students for Sefako Makgatho from our high schools”. President Zuma congratulated the Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr Blade Nzimande for making the establishment of Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University possible in such a short space of time. Minister Nzimande joined president Zuma in unveiling the statue of Mr Sefako Mapogo Makgatho who is the former African National Congress President. “The university is named after a gallant son of the South African soil. It must promote the legacy of Sefako Makgatho by producing appropriately qualified, highly skilled, and patriotic Human Resources in the Health Sector, ” Zuma concluded.

    SHERI HAMILTON 17. PEDAGOGY OF STRUGGLE #OutsourcingMustFall INTRODUCTION In October 2015, 10000 university students gathered at the Union Buildings in Pretoria, South Africa’s administrative capital, to demand the scrapping of proposed fee increases and the insourcing of workers. #FeesMustFall (FMF), the banner adopted, unified protests initially directed against apartheid-like practices such as language policies and colonial symbols at historically white universities. At its height, FMF demonstrated the potential to unite the decade-long, often militant but uncoordinated student protests against academic and financial exclusions mainly at historically black universities. It was the FMF’s economic demands – no fee increases – that enabled it to grow into a national movement that forced the government to concede. This demand united the majority of students – the poorest, the ‘missing middle’1 – and attracted the sympathies of wealthier students. FMF not only temporarily halted fee increases, but secured in-principle agreements to scrap the outsourcing of workers at some historically white universities – a practice that was embedded in the restructuring of higher education rooted in the neoliberal economic policy, Growth Employment and Redistribution, adopted in 1996 by the African National Congress (ANC)-led government. As fresh protests broke out a year later following the announcement of fee increases that will be capped at eight per cent for the 2017 academic year, the threat to student unity is posed by differentially applied increases. Students are demanding free education while government has exempted poor students who are recipients of its loan scheme, excluding the ‘missing middle’ for whose funding government is appealing to the private sector.

RELAYS IN REBELLION: THE POWER IN LILIAN NGOYI AND FANNIE LOU HAMER by CATHY L. FREEMAN Under the Direction of Michelle Brattain ABSTRACT This thesis compares how Lilian Ngoyi of South Africa and Fannie Lou Hamer of the United States crafted political identities and assumed powerful leadership, respectively, in struggles against racial oppression via the African National Congress and the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. The study asserts that Ngoyi and Hamer used alternative sources of personal power which arose from their location in the intersecting social categories of culture, gender and class. These categories challenge traditional disciplinary boundaries and complicate any analysis of political economy, state power relations and black liberation studies which minimize the contributions of women. Also, by analyzing resistance leadership squarely within both African and North American contexts, this thesis answers the call of scholar Patrick Manning for a “homeland and diaspora” model which positions Africa itself within the historiography of transnational academic debates.

  • These Are the New Street Names That Represent All Racial Groups, Genders and Political Spectrums, Including Afrikaner Religious
    These are the new street names that represent all racial groups, genders and political spectrums, including Afrikaner religious leaders and academics that played an important role in the country's liberation struggle. According to the Executive Mayor, Cllr Kgosientso Ramokgopa, the street name changes were necessary to ensure racial harmony and cohesion in the city. Nelson (Madiba) Mandela (1918 - ) Nelson Mandela is one of the most famous political leaders in the world. He was born in Qunu, near Umtata in the Eastern Cape and is a qualified lawyer. He was the first democratically elected South African president, serving from 1994 to 1999. Before his presidency, Mandela was a militant anti-apartheid activist and the leader and co-founder of Umkhonto we Sizwe, the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC). In 1962, he was arrested and convicted of sabotage and other charges. He was sentenced to life imprisonment, for treason, by the apartheid government but was released in February 1990 after serving 27 years. Professor Johan Heyns (1928 – 1994) Johan Heyns was an influential Afrikaner Calvinist theologian and moderator of the general synod of the Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerk (NGK). He was assassinated at his home in Waterkloof Ridge in 1994. His death drew shock and outrage from all moderates in South Africa, including Nelson Mandela. Heyns was instrumental in the 1986 NGK decision to abandon its support for apartheid and brand it a sin. Although his murder was never officially solved, it is widely believed that it was directly related to his criticism of apartheid. Nelson Mandela paid homage to him as a martyr for his country and a soldier of peace.
