Professor Thuli Madonsela has an “open-door” policy to students at Stellenbosch University. In her new corner office in oak-lined Victoria Street Madonsela greets visitors with a hug and an offer of tea. “I still need to unpack; I hope to have it done next time you are here,” she says. “Poverty will not reduce by itself, magically”Why then did she choose the university known as the intellectual cradle of apartheid? It is backed by Nelson Mandela University, Wits University, University of the Western Cape and Harvard University in the US, and she is talking to Oxford University in the UK.
