Rulanzen escalation event 2

This year's lecture, titled “The Three Deaths of Steve Biko: Towards a Jurisprudence of the Irreparable," marks a significant moment in our country and the life of the University. It inaugurates the next series of the Africa Day Lectures under the leadership of newly appointed Vice Chancellor, Professor Deresh Ramjugernath, and continues a tradition of convening critical voices to reflect on the role of the university in an ever-changing and often fractured world. Moreover, we reflect on a historical juncture, 30 years after the TRC was established, when several post-TRC cases and inquests are being (re)opened, and the post-1994 generation has come of age.
