Ubi sunt qui ante nos in mundo fuere? Ubi sunt qui ante nos in mundo fuere? Vadite ad superos, transite ad inferos, Quos si vis videre, quos si vis videre.

Vita nostra brevis est, brevi finietur, Vita nostra brevis est, brevi finietur, Venit mors velociter, rapit nos atrociter, Nemini parcetur, nemini parcetur.

Vivat Academia, vivant Professores, Vivat Academia, vivant Professores, Vivat membrum quodlibet, vivant membra quaelibet, Semper sint in flore, semper sint in flore.

6 THE BOOK AWARD FOR 2014 IS TO BE AWARDED TO:

Nicoli Nattrass The AIDS Conspiracy: Science Fights Back

The AIDS Conspiracy: Science Fights Back explores the individual and social aspects of AIDS denialism and AIDS conspira- cy beliefs in South Africa and the United States. It is a highly accessible, impeccably referenced, scholarly account of the role of conspiracy theories in the social and political history of the AIDS epidemic.

AIDS conspiracy beliefs are harmful because they are associated with adverse health outcomes, but difficult to contest by pointing to scientific evidence because the legitimacy of the scientific evidence itself is at stake in these narratives. Natrass argues that AIDS conspiracy beliefs (such as that HIV was deliberately created by scientists) are strongly mediated by local history and culture, but that the role of leaders in promoting these ideas is also crucial.

A central argument in the book is that AIDS denialism, gains social traction through the linked roles of ‘hero scientist’ (the dissident scientists who provide intellectual legitimacy), ‘cultropreneurs’ (alternative healers offering untested remedies in the place of medical drugs), ‘living icons’ (people who present themselves as living proof of the soundness of these counter narratives to science) and ‘praise-singers’ (sympathetic journalists who lionise these roles in the media). Pro-science activists, in turn, seek to undermine the credibility of those playing these roles in an effort to counter the conspiratorial move they make against science.

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:

7 HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT

Salim Safurdeen Abdool Karim DSc(Med) (honoris causa)

Slim Abdool Karim, who has held academic appointments at the Universities of Kwa-Zulu Natal, Cornell and Columbia, is an exceptional scholar who has made significant scientific contributions in the fight against AIDS.

Abdool Karim demonstrated that tenofovir gel prevents both HIV and Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 infection. It was the first microbicide study to show efficacy and among the most significant scientific breakthroughs in the fight against AIDS. Science ranked it among the Top 10 Scientific Breakthroughs in 2010.

In addition he has contributed significantly to research capacity, playing a key role in the initiation or creation of five highly productive research centres in South Africa, and has been instrumental in restoring the status of the Medical Research Council (MRC) as the premier medical research institute in the country. He served for a decade as the Principal Investigator of the Fogarty International Centre which has trained more than 500 South African researchers. He is currently the Chair of the UNAIDS Scientific Expert Panel.

Few researchers in Africa, or globally, have been as influential and have had impact of such major consequence on both HIV prevention and treatment. In serving society, and particularly the women of Africa, he epitomises the contribution that innova- tive multidisciplinary science and medical technology can make to disease prevention and treatment and global health.

23 HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT

Bernard Lewis Fanaroff DSc (honoris causa)

Bernie Fanaroff’s achievements range from his work as a radio astronomer, contributions to liberation through the trade union movement, and South Africa’s winning the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) radio telescope. A graduate of the Universities of the Witwatersrand and Cambridge, Fanaroff’s studies of extragalactic radio sources were pioneering and the 'Fanaroff-Riley' classification of radio sources (developed with Julia Riley while at Cambridge) is still used today.

After ten years in astronomy at the University of Witwatersrand Bernie Fanaroff decided that he had to make a contribution to his country in a different way. A two-year leave of absence from Wits became eighteen years in the trade union movement in the troubled 1970s and 1980s, during which he helped to set up and build the Metal & Allied Workers’ Union, later the Nation- al Union of Metal workers (Numsa) as one of the largest and most influential unions in the country. From 1994 to 2003 he held various positions in government, during which he was effectively at the head of the Reconstruction & Development Programme (RDP). In 2003 he was retuned to radio astronomy as part of the nascent SKA project. In this role he played a significant role in raising South Africa’s international stature as a world-class research destination. His acumen as a leader and his expertise as a radio astronomer were crucial to South Africa’s winning bid. The SKA promises to bring massive infrastruc- ture development, create a significant legacy of skills and be a continuing attraction for young people in Africa to enter careers in science and technology.

Asongwe Tantoh conducted his doctoral research in the field of infectious diseases, with focus on Listeria monocytogenes infection. His thesis uses a combination of visual cell based assays with high-content RNA interference screening approach to screen for and to identify human host factors (genes) involved in Listeria monocytogenes infection. His research provides a set of human genes that will foster our understanding on how the bacteria pathogen sustains its intracel- lular life style. Asongwe Tantoh’s work therefore generates a list of new poten- tial candidate genes of cellular targets that can be used for antibacterial thera- py development against Listeria mono- cytogenes.

In Disability Studies: Ntombekhaya Tshabalala Thesis Title: An exploration of the parents’ experiences of the inclusion and retention of their disabled children in public schools in the Eastern Cape Province

Ntombekhaya Tshabalala completed a BSocSc degree at UCT in 1993, major- ing in Psychology, followed by an MPhil in Housing Development and Management at the same institution. Ntombekhaya Tshabalala’s doctoral research interests in disability issues developed while she was involved as a project co-ordinator for the REHAB organisation, a disability NGO in East London and a pilot project for inclusive education within the Amathole District Municipality. The thesis which emerged also focuses on experiences of rural parents of disabled children with regards inclu- sion and retention of their children in basic education. This qualitative study follows a participatory action research design using critical theory as the lens through which the world of parents with disabled children was examined. Five themes are selected as representa- tive of the main findings, namely: growing up; we live busy demanding lives; inadequate awareness and infor- mation about the policy; unsupportive management from the department; and

In Human Genetics: Mankgopo Magdeline Kgatle Thesis Title: An investigation of genome-wide promoter region cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) island methylation profiles in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection

Mankgopo Kgatle has a BSc from the University of Limpopo, and a BSc(Med)(Hons) and an MSc(Med) in Medical Virology from UCT. Her doctoral research arose from her interest in infectious diseases and interaction with clinicians at the Liver Clinic, Groote Schuur Hospital. Mankgopo Kgatle investi- gates the hypothesis that infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and viral DNA integration into the host genome causes unintended methylation of gene promoters that can explain the clinical phenotype of HBV related liver disease. Genomic viral inserts are silenced through methylation by DNA methyltransferases during which the surrounding genomic DNA is also methylated. If these viral inserts are within gene promoter regions, methyl- ation of surrounding CpG islands would disrupt gene function. She demonstrates the presence of genome-wide promoter region methyl- ation in patients with chronic HBV infection. Using bisulfite DNA sequencing, she validates the presence of gene promoter methylation in sever- al genes. Using the highly methylated CCND3 gene, she shows that methyla- tion is present only in HBV infected patients, is associated with viral load and HBV genotype D. She presents a unifying hypothesis that helps to explain the pathophysiology of liver disease seen in chronic HBV infection.

Suzaan Marais Thesis Title: Investigations into HIV-associated tuberculous meningitis

Suzaan Marais holds an MBChB from the University of the Free State and obtained her FC Neurology from the College of Medicine, South Africa. Her PhD thesis arises from research at the Institute of Infectious Disease and Molecular Medicine at UCT, where she has been based since 2010. Suzaan Marais’s thesis inves- tigates HIV-associated tuberculous meningitis (TBM) in the high tubercu- losis (TB)/HIV co-infection setting of Cape Town. A clinical TBM case definition is developed for use in all TBM patients regardless of HIV status, age or socio-economic setting. Through several studies Suzaan Marais determines the frequency, clinical characteristics and outcome of TBM and a common complication in HIV-co-infected patients who start antiretroviral therapy, namely neuro- logical TB-associated immune recon- stitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). She further characterises the cerebrospinal fluid and blood immuno- logical profiles of, and determined risk factors for, TBM-IRIS. The end result is a synthesis of clinical and immuno- logical findings that is a distinct contri- bution to knowledge and will inform health policy in the areas of diagnosis and management of HIV-associated

Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Italy. His PhD thesis, in the field of M-theory, arises from trying to understand nature at its most fundamental level. Asadig Mohammed’s thesis began as an attempt to answer the question “What is M-theory?”, and aims to develop and refine a matrix-model of the so-called M-theo- ry/ABJM duality. This is the first such attempt at reconciling two completely different descriptions of this 11-dimen- sional theory of quantum gravity. His research follows this up with a formu- lation of a completely new and rigor- ous framework within which to embed the recently discovered AdS/CMT correspondence into a critical string theory. It does so by implementing a consistent abelian truncation of the degrees of freedom of the full theory, a technique invented by Asadig Moham- med. The thesis is a masterful exercise in the breadth and technical depth that the field of string theory encompasses.

In Astronomy: Roger Ianjamasimanana Thesis Title: Interstellar medium properties and star formation in nearby galaxies

Roger Ianjamasimanana has a BSc and honours degree from the University of Antananarivo, Madagascar, and BSc(Hons) and MSc qualifications in Astrophysics from UCT. He has been a member of the Astronomy Department from 2009 to 2014. Roger Ianjamasimanana’s thesis focuses on the dynamics of atomic hydrogen (HI) gas in the disks of nearby, well-resolved galaxies. Using high-quality radio HI observa- tions, the gas velocity dispersions are characterized using a two-component Gaussian model, one consisting of a broad (higher velocities, warmer gas) and the other narrow (low velocity, colder gas) constituents of the interstel- lar medium (ISM). Separated in this way, the components can be studied with respect to the underlying star formation, and environmental condi- tions (e.g., metallicity), as well as with the large-scale structural distribution of the stellar backbone and ISM gas

HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT

William Daniel Carmichael LLD (honoris causa) William (Bill) Carmichael studied Economics at Yale, Princeton and Oxford. He came to South Africa in the mid-1970s as head of the Ford Foundation’s Office for the Middle East and Africa, and in the 1980s led Ford’s work in South Africa as Vice-President of the Ford Foundation, responsible for its Developing Country Programmes. Bill Carmichael’s leadership and understanding of the potential of think-tank type organizations in repressive societies enabled the Ford Foundation to play an important role in support of a wide range of individuals and organisations working in civil society both inside and outside universities. He led a shift from economic modernisation theory to supporting the full set of institutions characterizing an open democratic society and re-focused the Ford South Africa programme to support human rights (including right to trade unions), transforma- tion of the historically white universities, alternative education programmes such as SACHED, and other dimensions of a society struggling for democracy, including the Legal Resources Centre and the Centre for Applied Legal Studies. Bill Carmichael, both through the generosity of the Ford Foundation and the advice and the wisdom which he shared, made a significant contribution to South African universities and the wider South African society, particularly in education and law.

Collective Bargaining in South Africa by Shane Godfrey

46 termite, Microhodotermes viator that is endemic to South Africa. As part of her doctoral research, she develops the first microsatellite library for M. viator, which she uses to elucidate the genetic structure within and between 12 discrete colonies, from four areas across the Western Cape. In addition to genetic structuring, the behavioural interactions between colonies are explored, using aggression assays. The genetic data indicate moderate to strong differentiation between all colonies, with higher than average relatedness within geographic areas, cumulatively suggesting mild popula- tion viscosity and genetic structuring at a local scale. In addition, M. viator has a higher propensity for mixed-family colonies than other termite species. This is supported by the fact that although capable of discriminating between nestmates and non-nestmates, as a species M. viator is only mildly aggressive.

In Physical Oceanography: *Yonss Jean Saranga José Thesis Title: Mesoscale structuring of the pelagic ecosystem in the Mozambique Channel: a modelling approach

Yonss José was born in Mozambique. She has a BSc Honours from the University of Eduardo Mondlane (Mozambique) and an MSc from the University of the Mediterranean (France), graduating top of her class for both degrees. Her PhD forms part of a collaborative research programme involving South African and French scientists. Yonss José’s thesis aims to quantify the roles played by large (tens to hundreds of km), rotating bodies of water in influencing biological produc- tion in the Mozambique Channel. She uses computer models to create a virtual reality, representing the ocean between Africa and Madagascar. Using the computer models, a series of exper- iments were carried out. By manipulat- ing computer code, she was able to remove aspects of the motion of the eddies in her virtual ocean, determin- ing how these eddies influence temperature, salinity and nutrient concentrations from the sea surface to the seabed. In turn, the physical and

59 ORIGINS 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 every- thing to do with a long tradition of celebrating high achievement.

60 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, Valken- berg 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 deter- mined 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 undergrad- uates. 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 residenc- es. 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.

61 VALUES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN

The University is a community of scholars, teachers, students and staff. A community implies the shared acceptance by its members of common values. The concept of values implies not only rights but also obliga- tions, for the community itself and for its individual members.

This statement of values provides a framework that informs and governs what is considered by the University community to be appropriate and acceptable behavior. The statement also serves as the foundation for a range of University policies and guides the management of particular aspects of University life.

As a community, the University commits itself, and expects all its members, to exemplify and uphold these values and to reflect them not only in institutional and personal relationships, but also in all other aspects of University life, including work, sport, recreation, and cultural, intellectual, religious and other activities.

As a values-based community, we aspire to an encompassing ethos which

• promotes academic excellence and the attainment of the institutional goal of becoming a world-class African University; • preserves what is valuable in the history of the institution and of this country, and responds to the challenges posed by past injustices and unfair discrimination; • achieves social transformation, empowerment and participative governance; • affirms and protects the fundamental human rights enshrined in the Constitution; and • encourages the institution and all its members to accept responsibility for the welfare of the community and for behaving in accordance with these community values

VALUES

We commit ourselves to • truth, fairness, consistency, and integrity in both academic and other work, and in all personal and institutional relationships; • compassion, generosity and concern for the needs and aspirations of others, and in particular for the challenges faced by the less privileged in our society; • respect and tolerance for cultural, religious, political, and other differences and acknowledgement of the value of diversity in society; • respect for individual privacy, dignity, and the right to personal choice; • intellectual honesty, rigour in debate, openness to alternative ideas and respect for other views, beliefs and opinions; • commitment to high standards, personal fulfillment and the pursuit of excellence; • the protection and responsible use of the University's assets and resources; • concern for the personal safety, health and welfare of all members of the community; and • the protection and conservation of the environment and our natural resources.
