Cape Times
|August 18, 2025
RHODES University's Faculty of Law will officially name its iconic law building in honour of one of its most distinguished alumni and the revered outgoing Chancellor, Justice Lex Mpati.
This forms part of its 120th anniversary, marking more than a century of academic excellence and profound contributions to the South African legal landscape. As a testament to this enduring legacy and its pivotal role in shaping the nation's jurisprudence, it will honour Justice Lex Mpati by naming the faculty after him.
“This occasion signifies a commitment to recognising visionary leaders and inspiring future generations who will uphold the rule of law across South Africa,” Judge Gerald Bloem, council chairperson of Rhodes University said.
He added that Justice Mpati's life and career embody the core values our institution promotes, which includes integrity, excellence, and social justice. “His jurisprudence consistently demonstrates a deep commitment to constitutional values, like equality and human dignity,’ said Judge Bloem.
