University of Fort Hare celebrates 100 years

The University of Fort Hare is this year celebrating its centenary. Known as the “crucible of African leadership” and the alma mater of anti-apartheid struggle figures such as ZK Matthews, Nelson Mandela, Robert Sobukwe, Oliver Tambo and Govan Mbeki, the University of Fort Hare continues to spawn leaders in every sector of society. It is the only southern African university to have produced five heads of states: Nelson Mandela of South Africa, Yusuf Lule of Uganda, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, Ntsu Mokhehle of Lesotho and Sir Seretse Khama of Botswana. The year marks a hundred years in pursuit of academic excellence, a century in search of African and global knowledge.
