Dear Professor Tawana Kupe, vice-chancellor and principal of the University of Pretoria
With many activities lined up in the remaining eight months, it is clear that this year will be bloated with lots of changes, astonishments and critical debates.It is against this inspired confidence that I submit to you my recommendation that the university name be changed to the University of Jeff Kgalabi Masemola or University of JK Masemola.
Masemola, also known as Bra Jafta or Bra Jeff, was killed on April 17 1990, after spending only six months on the outside after his release from jail.He suffered the same colonial and apartheid fate as Solomon “Khala” Mahlangu, chief of the Lebelo group of the Ndebele Johannes Jane Tane Kekana, Christiana Khabe and Chris Ngwenya of the Inkatha Freedom Party, and many more who succumbed to unnatural deaths.
After 25 years of democracy, we still have hard-working students who graduate from your university, particularly black, who pride themselves with their qualifications written in the name of Andries Pretorius, a man who died 166 years ago.
lol...yal ambitious AF!
They failed to rename it University of Tshwane. Now this?
Really?
More useful and beneficial would be if Tuks spear heads a REAL change in Mathematics Education , recognising the cultures in Mamelodi, Atteridgeville, etc than a name change just like the University of New Zealand did, bringing Maori ppl to maths HigherEduGovZA ButiManamela
