You are cordially invited to the 10-year celebration of the Centre for Student Leadership, Experiential Education and Citizenship's Frederik van Zyl Slabbert Institute and its annual Frederik van Zyl Slabbert Honorary Lecture. 

This year the honorary lecture will be delivered by Judge Dennis Davis. Judge Dennis Davis was appointed a Judge of the High Court in 1998 by former South African president Nelson Mandela, and as President of the Competition Appeal Court in 2000. Since his appointment to the Bench, he has continued to teach constitutional law and tax law at UCT where he is an honorary professor of law. Judge Davis' research interests include constitutional law, socioeconomic rights, and human rights and litigation. He served as a legal advisor on electoral law and federalism to the Constitutional Assembly during the formation of South Africa's new constitution. He has been a visiting lecturer/professor at the Universities of Cambridge, Florida, Toronto, Georgetown, and Harvard. 

This annual honorary lecture, with the financial support of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, aims to create a platform for our student leaders, academics, and broader international community to engage critically with current South African political and governance issues.
