UJ to confer honorary doctorate on activist Kumi Naidoo

JOHANNESBURG - The University of Johannesburg said on Wednesday that it would bestow an Honoris Causa degree on Kumi Naidoo as recognition for his contribution to social justice in South Africa.

"That is why we are proud to award Kumi Naidoo the degree Doctor Honoris Causa in Humanities and can boldly claim him as an alumnus of the university of critical Pan-African inquiry that seeks to propel Africa into the 4th Industrial Revolution.” The university mentioned that from 1998-2008 Naidoo was Secretary General of Civicus, an international alliance for citizen participation.
