The Centre for Social Justice (SCJ) at SU proudly presents the 5th Annual Social Justice Lecture, commemorating World Social Justice Day. Hosted by the Director of the CSJ, Professor Thuli Madonsela, this year the prestigious event will feature South Africa’s Public Protector, Advocate Kholeka Gcaleka as the keynote speaker.
Advocate Gcaleka brings a wealth of experience and insight having served as a special advisor to multiple government departments and contributing significantly to the fields of governance, compliance and policy development.

Her vision for a more just society, coupled with her understanding of legal intricacies in the South African context, makes her an ideal leader to guide us forward in our quest for equality and human rights.
