In an effort to sustain the reputable profile of outgoing University of South Africa (Unisa) chancellor Judge Bernard Ngoepe, who served the university for 15 years before stepping down this week, Unisa has appointed former South African President Thabo Mbeki its new chancellor. In a media release published Friday, the university noted that, during the “rigorous process” of selecting and appointing a new chancellor, it had carefully considered attributes and qualities that resonated with its vision and mission, as articulated in Unisa’s Strategy Vision 2030 to become ‘The African University Shaping Futures in the Service of Humanity’.
