Sol Plaatje University should be beacon of development─── OWEN KOCK 07:07 Wed, 20 Aug 2014
Kimberley - Former Justice of the Constitutional Court, Judge Yvonne Mokgoro, made an emotional plea for development to come to Kimberley when she was inaugurated as a council member of the Sol Plaatje University.
Mokgoro, Judge Hendrik Lacock and Justice Violet Phatshoane were appointed to the council, along with 21 others including Sol Plaatje city manager Goolam Akharwaray, by the minister of higher education Blade Nzimande yesterday.
A teary-eyed Mokgoro said she hopes that the university does not become a white elephant, but a beacon of development.
