[VIDEO] With just a week before the UCT community gathers to raise funds for students through the UCT Day initiative, UCT News caught up with UCT alumni Professor Wiseman Nkuhlu as he reflected on his latest book: Purposeful Leadership for Africa in the 21st Century.

A number of UCT Alumni will be showcasing their books on the day, with young and emerging writers in conversation with other authors and connecting with readers. #UCTDay2024
