government at various levels and the professions, and

Through its activities and practices, UWC will strive to be an effective partner in the larger national
project of building a sustainable and equitable non-racial, non-sexist, democratic, multi-lingual
society, where people use their freedom to good effect and honour their responsibility for hard
work, social justice and nurturing the environment. Based on this vision, UWC will also have a
significant role in the new era of Africa’s development.
