  • Download the Year in Review 2019
    UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN YEAR IN REVIEW 2019 WELCOME FROM THE CHANCELLOR 2019 was my final year as Chancellor of the University of Cape Town (UCT), capping 20 years of change, enrichment and growth for myself and the institution. When I took up this office in 1999, Dr Mamphela Ramphele was the vice-chancellor, and UCT became the first university in Africa with two black women at the helm. Now, 20 years later, I am so proud to be leaving UCT in the capable hands of two extraordinary young women in the roles of chancellor and vice-chancellor. By the end of 2019, under Vice-Chancellor Professor Mamokgethi Phakeng, all of UCT’s academic executive positions were held by women from different disciplines, races and backgrounds. Of course, transformation still has a long way to go everywhere in the world, perhaps especially so in gender equality. This is why the vice-chancellor allocated scholarships for women researchers worth R22.5 million in 2019 to help us all reconsider our views of gender in South Africa and to pave the way for these new researchers to influence fields of study previously dominated by men. Over the past 20 years, we have seen a new generation of academics begin to emerge across UCT. They help to build diversity while sharing a commitment to excellence in higher education. They provide inspiration for every UCT graduate to become a potential leader. Through these exceptional lives, UCT is helping to transform South Africa and the world. GRAÇA MACHEL Chancellor (1999–2019) WELCOME FROM THE CHAIR OF COUNCIL Around the world, higher education is grappling with questions of sustainability.

    THE ABE B U R S A R Y BAILEY FELLOWSHIP Newsletter # 95 P O Box 86 September 2020 CAPE TOWN 8000 ABE BAILEY TRAVEL BURSARY WEBSITE: http://www.abebailey.org/travel Vice-Chancellor Professor Mamokgethi Phakeng at a UCT Graduation in December spoke boldly to the graduands: "I challenge you to use your education, this precious gift, to serve your community and your society, to help achieve the dream of a future that is more just, equal, fair, to make it inclusive for all. I challenge you to set your super-power dials to 'in service'. If you dare to accept my challenge today, what a wonderful miracle might unfold in our country and our world." As I listened to her, I thought of Abe Bailey Fellows across more than 6 decades who have taken up this challenge, making a vital contribution to a better world. This task is more urgent in these days both for older Fellows and for the new bursars as they join our ranks. Be encouraged to carry the baton in every space where you have influence. I am certain that Sir Abe is there in the wings cheering us onwards! Warm greetings to all Abe Bailey Fellows across the globe. I pay tribute to each Abe who is making a positive difference to the lives and communities where you serve. 1 ABE BAILEY TRAVEL BURSARY TOUR CANCELLED FOR 2020 The Trust cancelled the 2020 Tour in the light of the Covid-19 pandemic. Application procedures at the universities, selection panels, travel possibilities to and in Ethiopia and the United Kingdom, and bursar health security were the overriding factors leading to this decision.
