UNITRA Graduation (and a bit of South African history)

So here's a nice story about the recent graduation ceremonies at the University of Transkei. I like this story because it mentions a whole bunch of stuff that comes into play in that part of the world, politics, poverty, the merger of the ZA higher ed system, the transfer of power, ego, etc. I guess this will be the last class to graduate from UNITRA and while there may be hope for the future, there's probably a more than a little bit of sadness too.
