Gaudeamus Igitur

Gaudeamus igitur,

Juvenes dum sumus; Post iucundum iuventutem, Post molestam senectutem

Nos habebit humus.

Vivat academia, Vivant professores,

Vivat membrum quodlibet, Vivat membra quaelibet;

Semper sint in flore!

English

Sesotho sa Leboa

Let us rejoice, therefore,

While we are young. After a pleasant youth

After a troubling old age The earth will have us.

Long live the academy!

Long live the professors! Long live each student;

Long live the whole fraternity; For ever may they flourish!

Ka gona, a re thabeng,

Re sa le ba bafsa. Ka morago ga bofsa bjo bo bose

Ka morago ga go tšofala mo go nago le mathata

Lefase le tla ba le rena.

Phela thuto phela! Phelang diprofesa phelang! Phelang baithuti phelang;

Phela kagišano ka botlalo phela; O ka re ba ka phela gabotse goyagoile!

Afrikaans

Zulu

Laat ons dan vrolik wees,

Terwyl ons jonk is; Na ’n aangename jeug.

Na ’n onaangename oudag, Sal die aarde ons hou.

Lank lewe die universiteit, Lank lewe die professore, Lank lewe elke student,

Lank lewe al die studente, Mag hulle vir ewig hul jeug behou!

Ngakho, masithokoze

Sisebasha nje. Emva kobumnandi bobusha Emva kwezinkinga zobudala

Umhlaba uzosithatha.

Phambili ngemfundo! Phambili boSolwazi!

Phambili nakuwe mfundi; Phambili ngenhlangano yonke; Maziqhubeke ngonaphakade!

7. Doctor Legum (LLD) Ncube, Swikani (International Law) Thesis: Collective security since an agenda for peace: implications for regional security in Africa Supervisor: Prof HA Strydom

19

Ncube, Swikani (LLD) Swikani Ncube was born on 5 December 1984 in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. He obtained his ‘A’ level Certificate in 2003. After completing his Bachelor of Laws Degree at the University of Fort Hare in 2009, he obtained an LLM in International Law from Stellenbosch University in 2010. Before registering with the University of Johannesburg as a full-time LLD candidate in 2013, he lectured at the Midlands State University’s Faculty of Law, where he taught the Law of Delict as well as the Law of Evidence. He is married to Advocate Harriett Mutenga and they are blessed with a son, Jayden. Mr Ncube’s thesis is positioned within the post-Cold War re-configuration of collective security which found expression in the 1992 seminal report of the then Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr Bhoutros-Bhoutros Ghali, and commonly referred to as An Agenda for Peace. With the Cold War stand-off out of the way, African states, in particular, were compelled to face the structural weaknesses that prevented the OAU from responding effectively to fratricidal intra-state conflicts that were so prevalent on the continent since the advent of decolonization. At the institutional level, the OAU was replaced by the African Union (AU) in 2000 which introduced a new, redefined peace and security framework for the continent composed of a Peace and Security Council, a Panel of the Wise, a Continental Early- Warning System, a Peace Fund, and a Common Defence Policy. It is this new institutional framework and its functioning that are analysed in the thesis against the four pillars An Agenda for Peace has put forward for collective security in the 21st century, namely preventive diplomacy, peace-making, peace-keeping, and post-conflict peace-building. The study concludes with the finding that the AU’s failure to include amongst the main pillars of its security architecture an organ dedicated to post-conflict reconstruction constitutes a fundamental omission and a major weakness within the AU’s institutional framework for sustainable peace and security maintenance. In addressing this failure, the main contribution of the thesis lies in its argumentation for the establishment and operationalisation of a unitary AU Task Force for Post-Conflict Reconstruction and Development.
