The other recipients includes, author and political activist Dr Alan Boesak, academic Professor Zoë Wicomb and sociology academic Professor Kwesi Kwaa Prah.

UWC Registrar, Nita Lawton-Misra, says for the first time honorary doctorates and gold medals will be conferred at a gala ceremony. “While honorary doctorates will be conferred on those who have contributed to scholarship and research, gold medals will also be awarded to individuals who have made significant and extraordinary contributions to the upliftment of society through exceptional leadership, community involvement and related activities.”The Gift of the Givers founder received the Peace Hero award for his latest efforts to come to the rescue of communities following the April and May floods in KwaZulu-Natal.

The Giving Hope Foundation also auctioned off two prints by award-winning artist Nanda Soobben to raise funds for community upliftment projects.“All race groups I have spoken to, everybody wants a peaceful developed SA. We have to stop complaining that the government is corrupt, and the government is taking rates, and the government is taking VAT and the fuel price is gone high and electricity is not working.
