The University of South Africa (Unisa) will be renaming three of its historical buildings on its Muckleneuk Campus in Pretoria on Wednesday.
Unisa says its decision is in keeping with the spirit of renewal and transformation.
The naming and renaming process commenced in June 2018 when calls to submit proposed names were extended to university stakeholders including employees, students and alumni. A large number of nominations were received.
In November, the Unisa Council approved the renaming of the following three buildings on the Muckleneuk Campus The Theo van Wijk Building will be named after Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, the AJH Van der Walt building after professor Nkoana Simon Radipere and the Samuel Pauw building after Anton Lembede.
The individuals being honoured in this way contributed largely to the shaping of the university and society.
