The University of Fort Hare, has since its foundation in 1916, been a beacon of excellence and hope, a lodestar for national and continental regeneration. For that reason, its new Strategic Plan, Towards a Decade of Renewal, 2022-2026 is so critically important in steering the future of this iconic institution. Renewal means reinvigorating the institution, and walking alongside each other as Council, management academics, professional and support staff and students on this carefully crafted path to realise the new vision and give expression to our institutional values. The new Strategic Plan is a blueprint for the building and reconstruction work that will be undertaken over the next five years.

The new Strategic Plan is a blueprint for the building and reconstruction work that will be undertaken over the next five years. This will see the University of Fort Hare, founded in 1916 and 107 years old, re-established in its rightful place as one of the foremost institutions of higher learning in South Africa and the continent. The Towards a Decade of Renewal’ plan signals that we are not content to bask in the glory of the institution’s proud origins and tradition of trailblazing scholarship and leadership. Instead, we are committing to putting in the significant work required to strengthen the foundations and reimagine the institution where required.
