events that are aimed at making justice more accessible to communities. This helps the Institution to meet the aims of higher education relating to ridding society of the inequalities and injustices of the past.
Sustainable Goal 17 – Partnerships for the Goals
UNIZULU has not engaged in partnerships on sustainable goals. It is hoped that other HEIs in South Africa will follow in UNIZULU’s footsteps and embrace this form of sustainable reporting. Numerous valuable partnerships can be
created since HEIs are all aiming to not only alleviate their societal problems but also contribute to the world’s fight to end poverty, inequality and building peaceful, just and sustainable societies by 2030.
CONCLUSION
Council believes that in the coming year, it can improve the positive aspects and eradicate or ameliorate the negative aspects, as identified in this sustainability report. Numerous infrastructure projects are on the cards for 2021 and with COVID-19 added as a critical risk in the Institution’s risk register, sustainable development will consider the impact of COVID-19 on the achievement of the goals going forward. UNIZULU will continue its drive to provide quality education to its students and to ensure a safe environment for all staff and students.
