This first workshop was dedicated to the Residence Heads. More workshops of this nature will be held to afford the whole university community an opportunity to learn about human rights. These workshops form part of the Residence Diversity Implementation Committee's (RDIC) mandate. Attending the workshop were, from the left: Dr Choice Makhetha (Deputy Dean: Student Affairs), Mr Hein Badenhorst (new Residence Head), Ms Masego Petlhu (Human Rights Commission), Mrs Elsie Rupping (Residence Head) and Adv.
