Earlier this evening, Minister Thembi Simelane delivered a keynote address at a Dialogue on Municipal Infrastructure Sustainable Inclusive Communities co-hosted by UNISA Graduate School of Business and Department of Human Settlements📍🇿🇦

[Unisa SBL @UnisaSBL]

“A housing project without adequate bulk infrastructure is a promise waiting to fail.”

Minister of Human Settlements, Thembi Simelane, calls for coordinated planning that brings land, housing and essential infrastructure together to create sustainable communities.

#DistinctionDialogue

[Unisa SBL @UnisaSBL]

The promise of democracy must extend beyond the walls of a house to the communities, opportunities and futures built around it.

The #DistinctionDialogue challenged us to confront the barriers to inclusive living and turn collective commitments into measurable progress.

The true legacy of dialogue is not what is said, but what changes because of it.

A message of congratulations from the Principal and Vice-Chancellor of Unisa to Judge Navi Pillay

On behalf of the University of South Africa (Unisa) Management and its broader epistemic community, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Judge Navanethem Pillay on being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

This distinguished recognition honours a remarkable herstorical journey, from challenging apartheid to serving in some of the world’s most consequential judicial and human rights institutions. Her life and work stand as a testament to the enduring power of courage, principle and an unwavering commitment to human dignity.

Unisa is proud of its association with Judge Pillay, whose contribution to our intellectual community was reaffirmed earlier this year when she delivered the keynote address at our International Women’s Day celebration. Her call for justice, accountability and the protection of the rights of women and girls speaks directly to the values that must underpin a more just and equitable society.

Her achievement is an inspiration to Africa and the world, particularly to generations of women and young people who are shaping the future of justice, leadership and human rights.

We celebrate this herstorical achievement and salute a distinguished South African whose life and work continue to make a profound contribution to humanity.
