    UWC 30 YEARS
    (Frontline, 1989) Die Suid-Afrikaan
    This magazine commemorates 30 years of the University of the Western Cape's (UWC) pivotal role in fostering democracy and inclusion within higher education. UWC has been a key player in South Africa's transformative journey, evolving from a "bush" university to a respected academic institution known for its commitment to equity and social justice. The magazine delves into the university's democratic transformation, community engagement, and the student experiences of the era. Featured are exclusive interviews with significant figures such as Prof. Richard van der Ross, UWC's first black Rector, Noby Ngombani, the SRC chairperson during that transformative period, and Prof. Jakes Gerwel, van der Ross's successor. Professor Gerwel’s tenure, beginning in 1987, marked a distinct alignment with the mass democratic movement and introduced significant innovations in curriculum and research. This magazine is available in a digitized format, with two versions provided: a standard version and a reduced version designed for accessibility across various devices.
