The December graduation season has seen the University of Cape Town (UCT) exploring uncharted territory, with thousands of graduates being honoured in virtual graduation celebratory events – the first of their kind for the university since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, to celebrate with the 2020 PhD cohort, Vice-Chancellor Professor Mamokgethi Phakeng met with some of the graduates in person on the steps of Sarah Baartman Hall on 14 December 2020. Je’nine May and Lerato Maduna were there to capture it all on camera.
