Our goal

Through our Beyers Naudé Memorial Lecture series, we provide students with the opportunity to be exposed to interesting topics related to higher education and leadership. We have partnered with nearly every university in the country to deliver these popular lectures and have attracted some very high-profiled speakers.

We are proud to also note that the lectures are held in high regard by the universities we partner with and immensely appreciate that Dr Beyers Naudé’s family continues to support the programme.

Overview

In 2017 Kagiso Trust secured a partnership with the University of Zululand (UniZulu) in rural KwaDlangezwa, KwaZulu Natal, which is classified as one of the country’s historically black campuses, often perceived to be a second-class institution.
