As chancellor, he challenged Rhodes to become socially conscious and think critically and imaginatively about access, equity and transformation, and about its role in socioeconomic development issues in South Africa, especially in the Eastern Cape.

- Description: From introduction: This afternoon we publicly launch an exquisite tapestry commissioned from the Keiskamma Arts Project based in Hamburg on the coast. It is intended to express the social purposes that are the rationale for our existence; the geography and environment of Rhodes University; the economic, political, historical and social forces that have shaped it over 107 years and the complexity, antinomies, paradoxes and ambiguities of Rhodes’ history. It is also intended to express our origins, where we have come from the road we have travelled and where we are today; the continuities and discontinuities that characterise Rhodes; the inexcusable and shameful actions of our past in which we can take no pride, as well as the courageous actions, successes and achievements in which we can take pride, and that we can and must celebrate. The launch of the tapestry is an important moment in our continuing journey as Rhodes University of critical reflection, ‘critical appreciation of where we come from,’ and ‘dialogical and analytic engagement with where we are now’ and where we seek to be in future. I have indicated that the launch of the tapestry is a moment in our continuing journey – a journey of the remaking, renewal, modernisation, transformation and further development of Rhodes University.

- Description: From introduction: Most of you who are graduating were born in the late 1980s, a period of great turbulence and social conflict. This was, however, also a time of great optimism for it was clear that apartheid tyranny could no longer continue and had to give way to a new social order. We must take immense pride in the imagination, creativity, ingenuity and courage that we displayed as a people to rid ourselves of tyranny and to fashion our democracy. You are a generation that has been, thankfully, largely spared the horrors, brutality and injustices of apartheid. You are the first generation with the opportunity of living in a society founded on a democratic Constitution that proclaims the commitment to human dignity, the achievement of equality, and the advancement of non-sexism and non-racialism and the human rights and freedoms that are contained in our Bill of Rights.
