Wits mourns the passing of Dr Frene Ginwala Wits University
mourns the recent passing of struggle icon Dr Frene Ginwala (90) - a lawyer
and academic, political leader and activist, journalist, and Speaker of South
Africa’s first democratically elected Parliament. An ardent feminist, Dr
Ginwala entrenched the principles of non-sexism both
within the ANC and broader society and ensured that women were actively
involved in shaping our democracy, as described by Professor Shireen Hassim
in The Conversation. Dr Ginwala
was awarded an honorary doctorate from Wits University in
recognition of the selfless contribution that she made in the fight for a
free, democratic South Africa. Listen to her acceptance speech delivered at Wits
on 21 March 2022 where she spoke about the important role of higher education
and its role in advancing democracy. Read more here. |
