On behalf of the University of the Western Cape I convey my heartfelt Diwali greetings to all students, staff, their families and the broader University community.
Diwali is known as the “Festival of Lights” and is considered the most significant of festivities on the Hindu calendar. The word Diwali is derived from the Sanskrit word “Deepavali” - meaning “rows of lighted lamps". Diwali is the celebration of light conquering darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and the triumph of good over evil.
On this auspicious occasion of Diwali, may you and your loved ones be blessed.
Warmest Wishes,
Prof Pamela Dube
Acting Rector and Vice-Chancellor
University of the Western Cape
