South African politician, educator and academic Naledi Pandor has been installed as the new chancellor of the Nelson Mandela University in the Eastern Cape.
Pandor, who held several high-ranking ministerial positions in government, succeeds Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi, who completed two terms as chancellor.
The Deputy Chairperson of the Council, Michelle Mbaco, says Dr Pandors record of activism, public service and her academic leadership resonates with the universitys identity as transformative and socially embedded.
