The Story
Creating an opportunity for inclusion through education
The Social Justice Walk, led by Professor Thuli Madonsela, Law Trust Chair for Social Justice at SU, forms part of the #Action4Inclusion crowdfunding initiative that helps to minimise student debt and unlock students’ potential to contribute to our country and continent.
Many students in South Africa are overburdened by university fee debts. The burden of historic debt owed to universities by students from poor and working-class families is of great concern. This massive debt situation means that students are unable to register for the new academic year and subsequently cannot complete their tertiary qualifications.
No student should be denied access to education based on their financial struggles. SU recognises the need for partnerships that aid in broadening access for students.
The Social Justice Walk is your opportunity to partner with us.
Everyone is invited
The 12,5 km walk starts at 08:00 outside Dunnes in Henry Street, Dublin, and ends near Beech Road.
Stellenbosch University and Prof. Thuli Madonsela invites corporations, alumni, friends of the University, students and staff of the Dublin community, as well as the broader virtual village to join the event and show their support for inclusive education by donating to this worthy cause.
Making strides
Through #Action4Inclusion, SU has made significant progress in addressing student debt. To date, the campaign has assisted over 100 students to overcome their financial burdens and continue their academic journeys. However, there are many more who need your financial support.
Donate Now
You are strongly encouraged to become an active financial partner by supporting #Action4Inclusion. This will offer many more students the opportunity to register for the next academic year. Please donate HERE and do consider becoming a monthly supporter of this worthwhile cause.

About Stellenbosch University:
Stellenbosch University (SU) is home to an academic community of 29 000 students (including 4 000 foreign students from 100 countries) as well as 3 000 permanent staff members (including 1 000 academics) on five campuses. The historical oak-lined university town amongst the Boland Mountains in the Winelands of the Western Cape, South Africa, creates a unique campus atmosphere, which attracts local and foreign students alike. On the main campus, paved walkways wind between campus buildings – some dating from previous centuries; others just a few years old. Architecture from various eras attests to the sound academic foundation and establishment of an institution of excellence. This, together with the scenic beauty of the area; state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly facilities and technology, as well as visionary thinking about the creation of a sustainable 21st-century institution, makes for the unique character of Stellenbosch University.
The University is amongst South Africa's leading tertiary institutions based on research output, student pass rates and rated scientists, and is recognised internationally as an academic institution of excellence. It boasts the highest weighted research output per full-time academic staff member of all South African universities and the second-highest number of scientists in South Africa who have been rated by the National Research Foundation (NRF). It also has the highest student success rate in the country.
SU is cementing its reputation as a world-class institution. According to the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, SU is one of the top 300 universities in the world, and among the top 20 in BRICS countries.
With 18 research chairs under the NRF South African Research Chairs Initiative (SARChi), the University is regarded as a leader in the fields of biomedical tuberculosis research and management, wine biotechnology, animal sciences and mathematical biosciences.
