The UNISA Law Clinic had the honour of hosting the Dean of the College of Law at Clark Atlanta University (USA), Dr Christopher Bass, during a visit aimed at strengthening international academic and professional partnerships.

The engagement included meaningful discussions on the rich history, foundations, and impact of the UNISA Law Clinic, while exploring opportunities for future collaboration, including possible partnership initiatives and student internship programmes.

As part of the visit, Dr Christopher Bass and Dr Rosalind Bass were taken on a tour of the University of South Africa (UNISA) Main Campus in Muckleneuk Ridge, Pretoria, providing insight into the institution’s legacy, academic environment, and contribution to higher education on the African continent.

The delegation also visited the UNISA Library, recognised as the largest academic library on the African continent, where they were introduced to its extensive resources, services, and role in supporting teaching, learning, and research excellence.

We proudly hosted an Anti-Bullying Campaign across schools in Middelburg, engaging learners on the urgent issues of child bullying and violence in schools.

The campaign was successfully held at:
• Zikhuphule Primary School
• Thusanang Primary School
• Khulunolwazi Primary School
• Middelburg Combined School

This initiative aimed to create safer school environments by educating learners about the harmful effects of bullying, promoting kindness, accountability, and encouraging learners to speak out against violence and intimidation within schools.

We are especially proud to have collaborated with dedicated LLB students from Middelburg, who conducted extensive research, prepared insightful presentations, and actively engaged with learners on the realities and impact of child bullying and school violence. Their contribution reflects the important role young legal minds play in advancing social justice and community awareness.

Together, we continue taking awareness, education, and empowerment directly to our communities, because every child deserves to learn in a safe, supportive, and respectful environment.

We are honoured to introduce one of the distinguished trainers for the 2026 Student Debate and Indaba Programme, Ms. Ona Xolo.

Ms. Xolo brings a wealth of legal expertise, practical experience, and a deep commitment to the development of aspiring legal practitioners. Her involvement in this year’s programme reflects our continued dedication to providing students with high quality, practice oriented training that strengthens advocacy, critical reasoning, and ethical engagement within the legal profession.

Through her guidance, participants will be equipped with essential skills in structured argumentation, persuasive legal discourse, and the articulation of complex legal principles within a debate setting. Her contribution further enhances the academic and professional value of the programme, ensuring that students are not only prepared for competitive platforms but are also grounded in the broader objectives of justice and legal excellence.

We look forward to the impactful engagement, insight, and mentorship that Ms. Ona Xolo will bring to the 2026 Student Debate and Indaba Training Programme.
