In a year marking 30 years of democracy, Justice Albie Sachs explored the nation\u2019s progress and whether the sacrifices made by the visionary and intellectual Solomon Tshekisho Plaatje and other freedom fighters have borne the fruit of justice, equality and equity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justice <\/span>Sachs delivered this year\u2019s Sol Plaatje lecture, titled \u201cIs this the country I was fighting for?\u201d as part of the annual Sol Plaatje Memorial Weekend at the Sol Plaatje University (SPU) in Kimberley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A series of events were hosted on 4 and 5 October at the SPU to commemorate Plaatje, who was born in October, while reflecting on the past, engaging with the present, and looking forward to the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Forming SPU\u2019s foundation<\/div>\n
As a pioneering journalist, writer, linguist, and politician, Solomon Plaatje\u2019s dedication to education, justice and equality forms the foundation upon which the SPU stands.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

His advocacy for intellectual growth and commitment to the upliftment of South Africans through knowledge and justice resonate with the SPU\u2019s mission, stated Kashini Maistry, director of institutional advancement at the university. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justice <\/span>Sachs\u2019 contributions in the fight for equality and human rights align with the ideals Plaatje himself championed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his lecture on Friday, he reflected on South Africa\u2019s Constitution as a doorway to freedom, drawing on lessons from countries such as America, Germany, Namibia and India on the importance of democracy, processes, and independent electoral commissions. He said building a nation required addressing both past decisions and future challenges, and said human rights work must embrace both seriousness and joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Founder\u2019s Dinner on Friday brought together alumni, key funders and stakeholders whose support has been instrumental in making the university sustainable and ensuring its success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, the annual SPU Chancellor\u2019s Golf Day took place at the Kimberley Golf Club. This is a fundraising initiative to support talented learners in the Northern Cape. A total of R295 750 was raised for the SPU\u2019s Talent Pipeline Programme, empowering Gr. 10 learners and helping them grow academically and socially.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and
