Dr Ndumiso Dladla, a lecturer at the University of Pretoria’s Department of Jurisprudence in the Faculty of Law and a keen follower of the late struggle icon Mangaliso Robert Sobukwe, was invited as the guest presenter.

Introducing the topic, UNIZULU Vice-Chancellor and Principal, Professor Xoliswa Mtose explained that the theme was chosen as a celebration of Africanism, a notion which resonated deeply with Sobukwe. Citing Kenyan thinker Professor Joseph Munyoki Mwinzi’s words, she contextualised Africanism as an awareness of and a state of pride in one’s African identity.
