The SU Transformation Indaba started as an initiative of the Institutional Transformation Committee (ITC). It is now the one annual forum where all transformation structures at our University – including those not represented on the ITC – meet and reflect on the overall progress that has (or has not) been made during the past year. The Indaba serves as an important barometer for experiences of transformation at our University, and as such provides important input for reflection and planning. The objectives of the Indaba are to:
- strengthen a collective responsibility for transformation implementation and progress;
- check-in with staff and students on transformation progress and challenges experienced; and
- determine priorities for the next year of transformation work.

The theme of the inaugural Student Indaba was to make a case to embed the Student Institutional Transformation Committee (SITC) within Stellenbosch University (SU). To embed the SITC as an attempt to meaningfully recognise and place in the foreground the student voice in transformation issues.
The indaba focused on five sub-themes that were identified as pressing transformation issues that have the potential to be addressed comprehensively through an institutionally embedded and recognised SITC.
