Educating for life means that our educational process must provide: a foundation of skills, knowledge and versatility that will last a life-time, despite a changing environment; research- based teaching and learning; critical enquiry in the form of the search for new knowledge and better understanding; and an active developmental role in our cultural, economic, political, scientifi c and social environment. Addressing the challenges facing our society means that we must come to terms with our past, be cognisant of the present, and plan for the future. In this, it is central to our mission that we: recognise our location in Africa and our historical context; claim our place in the international community of scholars; strive to transcend the legacy of apartheid in South Africa and to overcome all forms of gender and other oppressive discrimination; be fl exible on access, active in redress, and rigorous on success; promote equal opportunity and the full development of human potential; strive for inter-disciplinary and inter- institutional collaboration and synergy; and value and promote the contribution that all our members make to realising our mission. To equip people with life-long skills we must and will: promote the love of learning, the skill of solving problems, and the spirit of critical enquiry and research; and take excellence as the bench-mark for all we do. We are committed to academic freedom, critical scholarship, rational and creative thought, and free enquiry. It is part of our mission to ensure that these ideals live; this necessarily requires a dynamic process of fi nding the balance between freedom and responsibility, rights and obligations, autonomy and accountability, transparency and effi ciency, and permanence and transience; and of doing this through consultation and debate. This Mission Statement was formulated by a Working Group of the University Transformation Forum and was affi rmed and adopted at a University Assembly on April 24, 1996 N NEWS UUCTCT E W CONTENTS Foreword 2 Development And Alumni Department 4 Association Of Black Alumni Ploughs Back 7 Chancellor’s Awards Help Students 7 S Newsmakers 2009 8 Life Goes On In Zim… 13 We Remember 14 ALUMNI MAGAZINE Page Turners 16 Giving The Airwaves Some Suga 18 2009 PUBLISHED BY Robertson Gives New Insights Into Tourette’s 20 Development and Alumni Department, with the Communication and Alumni Concert In Pictures 22 Marketing Department Lawyering In Our New Constitutional Order 24 EDITOR Morgan Morris Judge Hlophe And Africanising South African Law 28 CONTRIBUTORS From SANAE, With Love 31 Myolisi Gophe Helen Théron Can We Beat Xenophobia? 32 Yvette van Breda Daniella Pollock Mirror Images 34 Chris McEvoy Katherine Traut A Cut Above The Rest 37 Raymond Botha COVER PICTURE Young Engineer Works On SA’s First Electric Car 38 Husein and Hasan Essop picture by Katherine Traut Cardiologist Has His Heart In The Right Place 40 DESIGN AND LAYOUT Drumming Up Support 41 Zwelibanzi Damba The Percy Fitzpatrick Institute Of African Ornithology 42 CONTACT [email protected] Alumni Gatherings 43 (t) +27 021 650 3746 (f) +27 021 650 5588 Where Are They Now? 47 Development and Alumni Department, University Postcard From Afar: Living In London...Death Or Opportunity? 51 of Cape Town, Private Bag X3, Rondebosch, 7700 he most striking feature of my meetings with TUCT alumni on trips throughout South Africa and around the world over the past year has been the unabated expressions of enthusiasm for and interest in the university’s welfare and reputation. This emerges both from individuals who have recently graduated, and from those who haven’t set foot on a UCT campus for 20 or 40 years. Of course, they also have questions and concerns. One sometimes hears references to a ‘decline’ in academic standards at South African universities. Here my response to alumni is unambiguous: UCT remains as fi rmly dedicated as ever to the highest scholarly standards across all disciplines. Where appropriate, our programmes are internationally accredited. Our graduates are headhunted by employers all over the world – not always to South Africa’s advantage. No fewer than 32 of our researchers have been A-rated in an international peer-reviewed process by the National Research Foundation, which means they are regarded as international leaders in their fi eld. (Forty percent of all A-rated researchers in South Africa are at UCT.) But to be a global university, UCT must offer something unique. As I said in my installation lecture, I believe that UCT’s niche is to be the intellectual interface between the African continent and the world. It is my hope, in fact, that UCT will become the institution that overseas universities will look to when they wish to learn about our continent or do business here. That is already beginning to happen – thousands of students from more than one hundred nations register at UCT every year. In that sense, we are a truly international university. And, as you will see in the pages of this magazine, we are also truly international in the impact that our graduates make locally and abroad. The stories also show that these alumni, like those I meet on my travels, take great pride in being associated with UCT. As we congratulate them on their achievements, we VC’s foreword celebrate the vibrant and dynamic UCT alumni global community, and express our deep appreciation to it Intshayelelo kaVC for its ongoing support of our mission.

Hierdie stuC.:ie betwis so 'n opvatting en argumenteer dat 'n noodsaaklike tydperk van informele onderhandeling voor formele kontak bestaan het. Gedurende die voorafgaande tydperk, wat bekend staan as vooronderhandeling, het lede van die Nasionale Party regering en die African National Congress (ANC) gepoog om kommunikasiekanale daar te stel en sodoende die moontlikheid van 'n onderhandelde skikking te ondersoek. Deur van 'n fase-benadering tot onderhandeling gebruik te maak, analiseer hierdie studie die oorgangstydperk met die doel om die struktuur en funksies van Suid-Afrikaanse vooronderhandelinge te bepaal. Die volgende drie onderhandelingsfases word onderskei: onderhande/ing oor onderhandeling, voorlopige onderhande/ing, en substantiewe onderhandeling. Beide fases een en twee word beskou as deel van vooronderhandeling.

    United States Institute of Peace Certificate Course in Negotiation and Conflict Management Produced by the Education & Training Center/International For the most recent version of this course, please visit: www.usip.org/training/online Copyright © 2010 Endowment for the United States Institute of Peace Chapter 1: Introduction About the Course This Certificate Course in Negotiation and Conflict Management is the second self-study course in a series that includes our Certificate Course in Conflict Analysis and Certificate Course in Interfaith Conflict Resolution, and will include courses in mediation and other elements of conflict management—all available online. Our Certificate Course in Conflict Analysis is the first in the series, and we strongly recommend that you take it prior to taking this course. Effective action is invariably the product of insightful analysis. The Certificate Course in Negotiation and Conflict Management is the second course in the series because negotiation is a fundamental skill for anyone practicing conflict management and peacebuilding, perhaps the most important tool in a practitioner’s toolkit. It informs other skills, such as mediation, and can be crucial to effectiveness at any point in the life cycle of a conflict. Certificate of Completion Throughout the course you will be prompted to test your understanding of terms and concepts. When the course is complete, you will have the opportunity to take a course exam. When you pass the exam, you will earn our Certificate of Completion in this negotiation course. 1.1: An Alternative to Violence Protest Against Injustice On March 21, 1960, in the township of Sharpeville, South Africa, police opened fire on a large but peaceful protest, killing and wounding scores of unarmed demonstrators.

Dear Colleagues The International Federation of Fertility Societies (IFFS) and our 2019 World Congress Scientific Committee are honored to announce the 23rd IFFS World Congress, to be held 11-14 April 2019 in Shanghai, China. Themed “Transforming the Frontiers of Human Reproduction” the Congress will highlight contributions from renowned international faculty focused on delivering leading edge research across a range of current issues in our field. International co-operation and dialogue in fertility diagnosis and treatment can be said to have truly commenced in 1951 in Rio de Janeiro with the formation of the International Fertility Association (IFA). Eminent scientists from around the world became members and the triennial World Congress in Fertility and Sterility was organized and held in New York City, USA, in May, 1953. At the Sixth World Congress (1968) IFFS was formally organized. For the past fifty years, the IFFS World Congress has been a hallmark of global reproductive healthcare. We have distinguished ourselves in service to our core mission: to emphasize cutting edge basic and translational science; to provide education to practitioners globally; and to promote high standards of care and advocacy for patients.
