The 87 graduation ceremonies which are taking place as the institution celebrate its 150th anniversary. They are being held in seven regions of the university – Pretoria, Durban, Cape Town, East London, Mbombela, Polokwane and Bloemfontein.

He said he had registered to study for his LLB degree in 2000. However, due to finances and ill health, he had to have a few pauses in his studies throughout the years, but he was happy that he had finally completed it.
