Nelson Mandela University strives to be a touchstone of excellence and an academic expression of Nelson Mandela in advancing the legacy of our iconic namesake. As the Vice-Chancellor commences a second term of office in 2023, she reflects on the highlights and challenges experienced over the past five years, while also looking into the future to consolidate the gains we have made as a university in the service of society.
