Laudation

Honorary Doctorate

The degree Doctor of Laws (honoris causa)

Katharina Renate Susanne Dorothee Boele-Woelki

Prof Katharina Boele-Woelki completed her undergraduate law studies at the Freie Universität Berlin,

Germany, in 1979, and obtained her doctoral degree from the same university in 1982.

Prof Boele-Woelki was a Professor at the University of Utrecht until 2015, whereafter she became Dean of

Bucerius Law School in Hamburg, the top-ranked Law Faculty in Germany.

Prof Boele-Woelki is internationally recognised as a leading scholarly authority in Comparative Law, Family

Law and Private International Law.

She is the first woman to be elected President of the prestigious International Academy of Comparative Law

(IACL). The Academy, which was founded in The Hague in 1924, is built on the firm belief that the comparative

study of legal systems is key to the harmonisation, unification and development of laws and legal institutions.

Furthermore, it is crucial to the peaceful and efficient regulation of human movement, commercial

interaction, environmental issues, sustainability goals and human rights across vast areas of municipal and

international law.

In her inaugural presidential address, Prof Boele-Woelki declared her mission to reach out to and advance

the study of comparative law in South Africa and the greater African continent. To this end, the University of

Pretoria has been nominated to host the 2020 IACL Congress on Diversity and Plurality in Law.

Prof Boele-Woelki also established the Commission on European Family Law (CEFL) in 2001. The Commission

has consistently produced high-quality research on family law matters in a rapidly changing social

environment. Its most recent publication on “De facto unions” responds to empirical data from a vast number

of countries, showing the high incidence of children born into informal unions. The principles formulated by

the Commission set an international benchmark for law reform, also in South Africa.

True to her altruistic and self-effacing nature, Prof Boele-Woelki’s focus is intent on making a positive and

enduring contribution to the comparative study of different legal systems on the African continent and

beyond. She has decided to invest a significant amount of time and effort in Africa, as well as making available

her considerable scholarly expertise and international research networks to the University of Pretoria.

The degree Doctor of Laws (honoris causa)

Yash Pal Ghai

Professor Ghai is a Kenyan academic and constitutional lawyer. He has made considerable contributions to

legal scholarship in Africa, especially in the development of constitutions and constitutional law on the

continent.

Born on 20 October 1938, Professor Ghai studied in Kenya and the UK, and he holds an LLM from Harvard

University and a Doctorate from Oxford University. Professor Ghai has had a long and illustrious career,

covering academia, civic engagement, independent commissions and international diplomacy. The academic

positions he has held include that of lecturer, senior lecturer, Professor and Dean at the School of Law,

University of Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania and positions at Yale University, Warwick University and the University

of Hong Kong.

Professor Ghai has a proud record of intellectual contributions of high academic-scientific merit, making him

an acclaimed champion of scholarship on constitutionalism, the rule of law, and the respect for human rights,

with particular relevance to Africa. His contributions traverse the academic, civic and diplomatic spheres as

illustrated in his distinguished career, making him an outstanding African public intellectual. His defence of

the ideals of democracy, constitutionalism and the rule of law has sometimes been at the risk of his own life

and freedom, as he has had threats on his life and was exiled from Kenya due to his justification of a credible

and democratic constitution-making process.

While his legacy lies in his instrumental role as chair of the Constitution Review Commission in the drafting

of the 2010 Constitution of Kenya and as co-founder in 2011 of the Katiba Institute, in consolidating social

transformation in Kenya through civic engagement, his influence on constitutional thinking and practice has

extended far beyond one country. His broader influence is exemplified in his appointment as Special

Representative on human rights of the UN Secretary-General in Cambodia, his chairpersonship of Fiji's

Constitutional Committee in 1993 to 1994, and his drafting of the Asian Human Rights Charter.

The honorary degree award recognises Professor Ghai's vast contribution to constitutional dialogue,

particularly in the African region. While his scholarship and contributions have previously been honoured

on several occasions, too little of this recognition has come from the African continent, despite him being

African. Honouring Prof Ghai with this award is closely aligned with the University of Pretoria's vision to be

a leading globally relevant university in Africa.

Laura Marie Ausserladscheider Jonas

War crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and the crime of aggression could in many instances not be

perpetrated without those who finance them. In this thesis, Individual criminal responsibility for the

financing of entities involved in core crimes, the promovenda examined the basis for criminal liability in

international criminal law for persons who financed entities that perpetrated core crimes. Despite the need

for clear rules, there is no agreement upon whether liability exists for these individuals; and if so, the

circumstances under which such liability exists. To determine the minimum standard of liability of these

individuals, the study analysed the legal rules relating to complicity in international criminal law. It relied on

an assessment of general principles sourced from twenty selected jurisdictions. The aim of this assessment

was to determine whether there were general principles of law recognised by the community of states on

the minimum standard of liability for aiders and abettors.


Ndumiso Dladla

In his thesis, Not yet ubu-ntu: Towards an African critical philosophy of race, the promovendus conducts an

in-depth philosophical critique of the his-story, commonly known as history, of conqueror South Africa in

relation to the race aspect of its constitutional evolution. This his-story is tested against the principle of

recoverability according to the just war doctrine. The result is that it is not yet ubu-ntu despite the

widespread appeal and abuse of ubuntu. The attainment of ubu-ntu lies in the ultimate construction and

constitution of a post-colonial conquest country with a new name. The thesis is an original and challenging

contribution to the perennial question of justice and peace in conqueror South Africa.


Johannes Esterhuizen Erasmus

In his thesis, A suitable regulatory regime for bargaining council funds as independent retirement funds,

the promovendus's research evaluated whether bargaining council retirement funds were being considered

with a focus on the consequences which statutory development had on bargaining council funds as well as

the regulatory regime which became applicable to these types of retirement funds. In his thesis, the impact

of the legislative changes was considered with specific reference to the impact it has had on constitutionally

protected rights, particularly the right to collective bargaining and freedom of association. In addition to this

and from a regulatory perspective, the oversight of retirement systems was considered to establish the

effect on the recommendation of having bargaining council funds revert to the position it found itself in

before the statutory amendments were promulgated. This was done with regard to the fact that South Africa

recently moved to a Twin Peaks system of financial regulation and the main driver behind this move was to

create a safer financial services industry.

Chazanne Grobler

In her thesis, Regulatory framework for psycho-legal assessments in South Africa, the promovenda examined

the shortcomings of the regulatory framework for psycho-legal assessments in South Africa, focussing on

psycho-legal work conducted by psychiatrists and psychologists. The research demonstrated that psycho-

legal assessments played a pivotal role in assisting courts. However, the lack of regulation contributed to

the various challenges faced, including unethical behaviour and inadequate performance. The research

included a comparative study of the regulatory mechanisms in England and the United States of America.

The unique contribution of the study lies in the recommendations that emphasise the importance of an

integrated approach to the formulation and application of ethical and legal principles, and the importance

of a harmonised regulatory framework.


Nelson Kekana Doctor

In his thesis, The effectiveness of adopted OECD transfer pricing dispute resolution mechanism in an African

context, the promovendus investigated the challenges uniquely faced by African countries that militate

against the effective use of the OECD transfer pricing dispute resolution mechanisms, namely the mutual

agreement procedure, the advance pricing agreement and the mandatory binding arbitration. The research

discussed transfer pricing manipulation by multinationals and its effect on revenue collection. It investigated

challenges that caused delays in resolving transfer pricing disputes by analysing the domestic frameworks

that exist in four African countries, namely, South Africa, Kenya, Uganda and Ghana. The thesis proves that

the absence of an adequate tax treaty network and lack of commitment from many African countries to

subscribe to and ratify multilateral conventions negatively impact the effective usage of OECD transfer

pricing disputes resolution mechanisms in Africa. The thesis creates a viable platform for the effective

resolution of transfer pricing disputes in Africa by making a series of recommendations and suggestions

that are tailored for African conditions.


Josua Loots

In the thesis, Infrastructure for development: The use of human rights impact assessment in public-private

partnerships, the promovendus contributes to our understanding of sustainable and inclusive development.

He used public-private partnerships in infrastructure projects to demonstrate that a holistic approach to

development that incorporates human rights considerations is needed to achieve sustainable and inclusive

development outcomes. His thesis explored how different notions of development influenced the

regulatory frameworks for and the structuring of infrastructure projects. The researcher demonstrated that

public-private partnerships increase both the complexity of infrastructure financing, planning and

implementation and the risk that they will not produce their intended developmental outcomes. The

promovendus proposes that governments and other project sponsors use human rights impact

assessments to address the challenges created by these complexities and shows that they increase the

possibility of achieving the intended sustainable development outcomes. After analysing various established

human rights impact assessment methodologies, the thesis proposes a new approach that is specifically

designed for public-private partnerships in infrastructure projects.

Mbakiso Magwape Leano

In the thesis, Establishing a legal framework of special and differential treatment under the World Trade

Organization: Definitive rights for developing countries, the promovendus assessed the Special and

Differential Treatment (S&DT) provisions in the World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements. He

demonstrated that these provisions did not achieve their intended developmental purposes because they

were imprecise, non-binding and unenforceable. To address this problem, the author developed a

conceptual framework for promoting S&DT provisions in multilateral trade agreements that offered

developing countries precise, effective, operational and enforceable rights. The author then tested the

feasibility of the framework by applying it to the SADC-EU Economic Partnership Agreement. The conceptual

framework developed in the thesis is an innovative contribution to the development of International

Economic Law. It offers a solution to the current problems with S&DT provisions in multilateral trade

agreements. In so doing, the thesis contributes to the development of a coherent and effective Global South

approach to international trade law, which has hitherto been dominated by the views of the Global North.


Magalie Masamba

In the thesis, An African perspective on reforming sovereign debt restructuring of privately held debt, the

promovenda critically assessed the current legal and policy issues arising in the restructuring of privately

held sovereign bonds. In making its contribution to the discourse on the sovereign debt restructuring

process (SoDR), this study sought to address both the legal and policy issues raised in this process. The

novelty of the study’s approach is that it adds an African perspective to recent efforts in the international

literature to address developmental and human rights considerations in SoDR. In order to contextualise

this approach to SoDR, the study assessed the history of SoDR, described the current challenges facing

contemporary approaches to SoDR and evaluated the corresponding proposals for reform. It maintains that

the current contractual approach to SoDR cannot ensure a fair, transparent and prompt restructuring for

African sovereign debtors. The study concludes with some proposals for reforming SoDR to make it more

responsive to African developmental and human rights concerns.


Veronica Irima Modey-Ebi

In her thesis, A critical analysis of the right to the city for women refugees and asylum-seekers in Tshwane,

the promovenda used the notion of the right to the city, as propounded by Henri Lefebvre. She examined

the plight of women refugees and asylum seekers in the City of Tshwane against the backdrop of

international and domestic laws. The notion of the right to the city connotes a bundle of rights, including

access to the city, equal opportunities for the use of resources in the city and a host of other political, moral

and socioeconomic rights. Although many of the rights embedded in the right to the city have been codified

in various laws these women still find themselves vulnerable and not fully protected. Relying on the concept

of intersectionality the promovenda explored their case, showing that they do no enjoy equal opportunities

for the use of resources in the City of Tshwane. The promovenda made a number of recommendations that

could alleviate the plight of women refugees and asylum seekers.

Ayodele Olorunfunmi Sogunro

In his thesis, Advocacy, social control, and the criminalisation of same-sex relationships in Nigeria, the

promovendus argued that the evolution and enforcement of Nigerian laws criminalising same-sex

relationships and non-heteronormative sexuality and gender identity were part of a system of wider social

control leveraged by the political elite to perpetuate its hegemonic power. While advocacy for the protection

of sexual and gender minorities in Nigeria has grown rapidly since the enactment of Nigeria’s Same Sex

(Marriage) Prohibition Act of 2013, political rhetoric and public opinion continue to be antagonistic to

advocacy efforts. Using doctrinal and empirical research, the thesis shows that the evolution of laws that

criminalise same-sex relationships in Nigeria is based on the use by the political elite of political homophobia

as a tool of social exclusion. The thesis also identified social control linkages between the laws criminalising

same-sex relationships and the existence of wider social exclusion in Nigeria.


George Wara Fordam Otieno

In his thesis, State recognition of customary land rights in the Kenyan Rift Valley, the promovendus examined

the struggles of four communities inhabiting the Kenyan Rift Valley - the Maasai, Nandi, Kipsigis and Kikuyu

- to assert their customary land rights against colonial and post-liberation state incursion. Using systems

theory and critical understandings of legal pluralism, he explored the four communities’ resilience and

resistance against different phases of state disruption of their land rights. Drawing on South African,

Tanzanian, Australian and Canadian examples, he evaluated the new regime of regulation of customary land

rights that emanated from Kenya’s new (2010) constitution. The researcher makes various suggestions for

the effective implementation of this new regime, in order to recognise and enforce the customary land

rights of communities inhabiting the Kenyan Rift Valley.

Eduardo Kapapelo E N Mutuyakevela

In his thesis, The role of state institutions in preventing violent conflict in Angola, the promovendus examined

how the nature of Angolan State institutions created conditions under which individual rights and liberties

were undermined, enhanced by an overly centralised State with a strong command culture. The thesis

argues that to prevent violence and ensure democratic governance there is an urgent need to decentralise

State power by limiting executive power, while at the same time further emphasising the role of provinces.

Government and civil society should work towards designing a State which is inclusive and safeguards

individual participation in the process of governance.

In his thesis, The role of civil society organisations in litigating the right to basic education in South

Africa: Lessons for Nigeria, the promovendus examined civil society organisations’ use of public interest

litigation as a tool to promote and protect the right to basic education of children in South Africa, and

considered what knowledge can be extrapolated for possible application in Nigeria. The thesis undertook a

comparative analysis of the constitutional and legal environment that enables or impedes strategic litigation

in the selected countries, and determined optimal conditions for such work to be undertaken. It also

demonstrated that for public interest litigation to be successful, it needs to be complemented by other

strategies such as engaging the media and mobilising stakeholders. The thesis illustrates the effectiveness

of civil society activism through strategic litigation in South Africa, and indicates opportunities for its use in

Nigeria to advance the struggle for equal access to quality basic education for every child.
