New Wits University vice-chancellor calls for brave, principled individuals, guided by reason — the antithesis of Malema and his ilk

One of many highlights was that “we need to graduate brave, principled, formidable individuals, guided by reason, factfulness and deep thought, and grounded in the principles of ethics and civic responsibility”. Differing with others must be based on respect and sound knowledge, and must never be informed by ill-intention, insults, ridicule, belittling and othering. Let us strive to emulate our past leaders: the Sobukwes, Mandelas, Bikos, Mothopengs, Tutus, Huddlestons and Hanis; and the many others who populate our country. Women and men of honour and dignity.
