Vice-Chancellor Sizwe Mabizela (Fort Hare 1985) reminded his Rhodes graduands in April this year: 'You join a small and privileged segment of society-a knowledge elite. In the globalised world, membership of this elite carries with it special duties, obligations and responsibilities that you cannot and dare not shirk. Never be afraid to raise your head above the parapet on social, economic and political ills that afflict our society. Never allow the fear of failure to drive you into the safety of inaction. Never sacrifice your values of personal integrity, honesty, trust, fairness and respect for the gratification of political expediency.'
