CONCLUSION
The University is committed to transformation, which is premised on social justice, social inclusion and compliance to all statutory requirements. The recommendations made by the Gender Commission are firmly embedded in the University’s transformation programme, which seeks to create an anti-discriminatory and safe environment for all students, staff and other stakeholders associated with UNIZULU. The University constantly monitors the implementation of the Gender Commission recommendations as a significant part of the UNIZULU transformation programme. From the
Ms N. Caluza Chairperson of Council
reports above it can be deduced that while some areas need urgent attention, the University is making progress towards transformation and has put various mechanisms in place to deal with its transformation imperatives. Several areas will need training of implementers for them to come to fruition. For example, all role-players need training on how they can prepare the field for equity and developing monitoring tools against which they can measure themselves. Equity is not a function of human resources alone. It is also not just a number-crunching game; it is a means to achieving most forms of equality. As such, it is everyone’s business.
