The University of the Western Cape – #BestofBothWorlds

#IamUWC​

There is a University on the tip of Africa,

that’s right at the top of its game.

it’s a place with a proud history and legacy,

pulled upwards by a future that will not be tamed.

It brims over with powerful ideas that again and again,

lead to potent action & real change… since when?

Six decades-long it’s been home to ground breakers,

change-makers, planet shakers – and it’s still going strong…

It’s the home of forward-thinking higher learning,

afro-centric pride & a story still unfurling,

independent thought that sparks innovation,

mindful, global citizens & their perpetual liberation.

Today, it’s my home, my springboard, my zone.

like iron sharpening iron, here,

my potential’s being mined as my mind is refined,

and my future: redefined. You see, it’s our time…

to learn from our histories, to never repeat their miseries…

to be the leaders of tomorrow’s victories,

e heralds of her epiphanies. It’s our time…

to stand up and find our stride –

taking Africa and all the world with us as we rise.
