The Faculty is honoured to welcome Her Majesty Queen Neo Mopeli, Commissioner of the Presidential Climate Commission, and Honourable Mr. Dustan Mlambo, Deputy Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court of South Africa, as the distinguished guest speakers. Their expertise and leadership will enrich discussions on governance, ethical leadership, climate resilience, and Africa’s development agenda.
