Address to the University of Botswana

"This University is well renowned for its Pan-Africanist disposition that has provided a congenial atmosphere for the flourishing of intellectual pursuit by scholars from all parts of the Continent. For decades, the University of Botswana has remained a haven for critical thinking and the thriving of a knowledge discourse informed by a diversity of academic traditions of our Continent. It is thus an honour for me to get the privilege of participating in sustaining this tradition." - Dr. Salim, February 15, 2001
