The University of the Western Cape (UWC) teamed up with Bush Radio 89.5 FM on Mandela Day to ensure that the university will continue to change the lives of young people for generations to come.
Bush Radio is broadcasting live from Udubs Radio, the campus station, and students are co-hosting shows throughout the day. The special Mandela Day programme is running on both radio stations.
Listeners are encouraged to donate at least R67 to the university’s Legacy Fund. Launched a year ago, the fund is dedicated to infrastructural growth. The university aspires to raise R1-billion by 2060, when the institution turns 100 and R200 million by 2033.
Staff, students and academics proudly showcased the research, innovation and community projects that UWC is spearheading,
Bush Radio presenter Mr Meyer and UWC Director of International Relations Umesh Bawa
Director of International Relations Umesh Bawa said: “We celebrate Nelson Mandela's contribution, who epitomises for us how one can hold one's values and be principled while at the same time having kindness and compassion for the world. We have other African theorists, including Franz Fanon, Amílcar Cabral, and Steve Biko, and these voices are the ones that we channel when we connect UWC to the world and the world to UWC”.
A hallmark of UWC is it’s outreach projects that serve not only various communities in Cape Town and the Western Cape, but across the country.
Damaris Kiewiets from the UWC Community Engagement Unit assists students and communities on a daily basis. She is an ex-nurse and a strong activist for Health, Human Rights, and Social Development. At UWC, she facilitates partnerships and networking opportunities.
Reflecting on the importance of strong donor relationships, Kiewiets reassured listeners that their contributions make a difference. “R67 will make 67 differences and possibly 67 000 and more young people’s lives. You make your donation that sows a seed in a young person’s life, and you ensure that future generations are educated and have a place of learning for years to come. I am almost 58 years old and still a student, and that 67 that you give will broaden minds and be an investment in many people’s lives.”
