Gaudeamus - University of Cape Town

Gaudeamus
Gaudeamus igitur, juvenes dum sumus,
Gaudeamus igitur, juvenes dum sumus,
Post jucundam juventutem, post
molestam senectutem,
Nos habebit humus, nos habebit humus.
Ubi sunt qui ante nos in mundo fuere?
Ubi sunt qui ante nos in mundo fuere?
Vadite ad superos, transite ad inferos,
Quos si vis videre, quos si vis videre.
Vita nostra brevis est, brevi finietur,
Vita nostra brevis est, brevi finietur,
Venit mors velociter, rapit nos atrociter,
Nemini parcetur, nemini parcetur.
Vivat Academia, vivant Professores,
Vivat Academia, vivant Professores,
Vivat membrum quodlibet, vivant
membra quaelibet,
Semper sint in flore, semper sint in flore.

National Anthem
Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika
Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo,
Yizwa imithandazo yethu,
Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo.
Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso,
O fedise dintwa la matshwenyeho,
O se boloke, O se boloke setjhaba sa heso,
Setjhaba sa South Afrika ± South Afrika.
Uit die blou van onse hemel,
Uit die diepte van ons see,
Oor ons ewige gebergtes,
Waar die kranse antwoord gee,
Sounds the call to come together,
And united we shall stand,
Let us live and strive for freedom,
In South Africa our land.

THE GRAÇA MACHEL CHANCELLOR’S AWARD
FOR CONTINENTAL LEADERSHIP
Desmond Mpilo Tutu
This award is given by decision of the Chancellor acting on the advice of the Council to individuals who have
made contributions to Africa though sustained and visionary leadership. It takes the form of a replica in bronze
of one of seven magnificent ceramic heads from the ninth century CE, modelled and decorated by early Iron
Age farmers in what is now Limpopo Province (and which are on permanent loan by the University to the Iziko
Museums).
Archbishop Emeritus Tutu: husband to Leah, father to his children, priest, bishop and archbishop, prophet. At
80 he continues to lead, to teach us to smile, to laugh (even to chuckle with delight), to weep, to be angry, to
pray, to speak out, to love. Nothing that is not Sacred is sacred. He would take the London palladium by storm
if they would let him. There is hardly a just cause that he has not espoused, especially if to do so has been to be
unpopular, hardly an abuse of power that he has not identified and condemned. Like the ceramic head of which
the award is a replica, Desmond Tutu stands as a very great product of our continent.

MISSION STATEMENT
UCT aspires to become a premier academic meeting point between South Africa, the rest of Africa and the world.
Taking advantage of expanding global networks and our distinct vantage point in Africa, we are committed, through innovative
research and scholarship, to grapple with the key issues of our natural and social worlds. We aim to produce graduates
whose qualifications are internationally recognised and locally applicable, underpinned by values of engaged citizenship and
social justice. UCT will promote diversity and transformation within our institution and beyond, including growing the next
generation of academics.
Foundation statement underpinning the mission statement
Our research-led identity is shaped by a commitment to:
• academic freedom as the prerequisite to fostering intellectual debate and free injury;
• ensuring that research informs all our activities including teaching, learning and service to the community;
• advancing and disseminating knowledge that addresses the key challenges facing society – South African,
continental and global;
• protecting “curiosity driven” research;
• nurturing and valuing creativity in the sciences and arts including the performing and creative arts;
• stimulating international linkages of researchers and research groupings.
We strive to provide a superior quality educational experience for undergraduate
and postgraduate students through:
• providing an intellectually and socially stimulating environment;
• inspired and dedicated teaching and learning;
• exposure to the excitement of creating new knowledge;
• stimulating the love of life-long learning;
• the cultivation of competencies for global citizenship;
• supporting programmes that stimulate the social consciousness of students;
• offering access to courses outside the conventional curricula;
• attracting a culturally and internationally diverse community of scholars;
• guaranteeing internationally competitive qualifications;
• offering a rich array of social, cultural, sporting and leadership opportunities;
• providing an enabling physical and operational environment.
In advancing UCT as an Afropolitan university, we will:
• expand our expertise on Africa and offer it to the world;
• extend our networks on the continent, along with our global connections and partnerships;
• promote student and staff exchanges and collaborative research and postgraduate programmes;
• engage critically with Africa’s intellectuals and world views in teaching and research;
• contribute to strengthening higher education on our continent.
We strive to provide an environment for our diverse student and staff community that:
• promotes a more equitable and non-racial society;
• supports redress in regard to past injustices;
• is affirming and inclusive of all staff and students and promotes diversity in demographics, skills and backgrounds;
• offers individual development opportunities to all staff;
• is welcoming as a meeting space for scholars from Africa and around the world.
