Construction can now start on “new home” for University of Cape Town’s public governance school
The University of Cape Town in South Africa announced on 17 May that construction on its proposed Nelson Mandela Memorial Centre can begin after it received a “generous grant” of US$21.5m from Atlantic Philanthropies.
“The Atlantic Philanthropies grant represents the largest single donation ever received by UCT, and is a testament to the vision and impact of the project,” said the university’s interim vice-chancellor Daya Reddy (pictured) in a statement.
