UWC Annual Golf Day 2026 | Johannesburg JOIN US FOR THE UWC ANNUAL GOLF DAY 2026Connecting Possibilities....

As we commemorate National Women's Day, we honour the courage of the more than 20 000 women who marched on 9 August 1956 and recognise that their struggle for justice, dignity and equality continues today.

In a special message to the UWC community, Rector and Vice-Chancellor Professor Robert Balfour reflects on the importance of listening to women's lived experiences and shares powerful reflections from three remarkable UWC scholars – Dr Tamlynn Roberths, Professor Tamara Shefer and Dr Thandi Gamedze.

Their stories remind us that Women's Day is more than a commemoration. It is a call to advance gender justice, challenge inequality and build a society where everyone can flourish.
