About The Centre (TC)

We as students are made to believe that we are advantaged and privileged to be in institutions of higher learning. But in our view South African universities and Africa in general are producing robust and mechanical graduates who are exceptionally well in one discipline, and as a matter of consequence they play little or no role to better the society because of their one dimensional world outlook. These pseudo elites perpetuate the extent of poverty, inequality and other ills in our societies because are not conscious of the struggle ahead. Currently this seems to be the status quo in all African universities. We therefore as University students have recognized the need to Conscioutise ourselves with knowledge and skills that are not provided in the mainstream curriculum, so that we can be well rounded individuals who have critical understanding of the society in which we acquired maturity and as a result become catalytic agents of change that Africa needs. Furthermore, as well rounded individuals, we have hopeful aspirations to be competent and determined enough to change the societies we come from. We hope to develop an academic intellectual who will promote the notion of African renewal and value the concept of UBUNTU and not individuals who will imitate western trends which are clearly destroying our society. Moreover, this social group seeks to develop an intellectual who will not only take part in the debate of ways of uplifting the society but in the implementations of programs that will change the lives of ordinary South Africans and Africa in general.
