"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
