May this be the beginning of a life of continuous learning, investing in yourself, and investing in the communities that nurtured you. Nurture the

relationships that you’ve formed and those that you will form as you journey through life. Umuntu umuntu ngabantu. Life is about collaboration with others.

A positive attitude & hard work will bring you closer to your dream and your purpose. Use others’ successes as your inspiration. Wits is full of those, from Nobel Prize Laureates to world leaders in different fi elds of society.

You have received world class education. Use it to make a difference in other people’s lives. Especially those less fortunate than yourself. We are a country with many needs, identify a role you can play to make a positive difference; you owe it to this country and the people that invested in you.

Gaudeamus igiturJuvenes dum sumusPost jucundum juventutemPost molestam senectutemNos habebit humus.

Ubi sunt qui ante nosIn mundo fuere?Vadite ad superosTransite in inferosHos si vis videre.

Vita nostra brevis estBrevi fi nietur.Venit mors velociterRapit nos atrociterNemini parcetur.

Vivat academiaVivant professoresVivat membrum quodlibetVivat membra quaelibetSemper sint in fl ore.

Vivant omnes virginesFaciles, formosae.Vivant et mulieresTenerae amabilesBonae laboriosae.

Vivant et republicaet qui illam regit.Vivat nostra civitas,Maecenatum caritasQuae nos hic protegit.

Pereat tristitia,Pereant osores.Pereat diabolus,Quivis antiburschiusAtque irrisores.

Let us rejoice thereforeWhile we are young.After a pleasant youthAfter a troublesome old ageThe earth will have us.

Where are theyWho were in the world before us?You may cross over to heavenYou may go to hellIf you wish to see them.

Our life is briefIt will be fi nished shortly.Death comes quicklyAtrociously, it snatches us away.No one is spared.

Long live the academy!Long live the teachers!Long live each male student!Long live each female student!May they always fl ourish!

Long live all maidensEasy and beautiful!Long live mature women also,Tender and loveableAnd full of good labor.

Long live the StateAnd the One who rules it!Long live our CityAnd the charity of benefactorsWhich protects us here!

Let sadness perish!Let haters perish!Let the devil perish!Let whoever is against our schoolWho laughs at it, perish!

FACULTY OF COMMERCE, LAW AND MANAGEMENT

Situated in the heart of the most powerful economic hub on the African continent, drawing on the best academic talent in the region, and connected to the most influential social agents in the country, the Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management offers an exciting and contemporary set of study programmes that grapple with the economic and social challenges of our country, and the economies across the globe. The Faculty’s academic programmes aim to graduate students who study and specialize in both the technical skills that are driving and shaping modern economies and understanding the social, political and legal implications of these patterns of economic development. The Faculty offers a unique opportunity to study and understand the complex developments in the economy and the social, legal and economic consequences of these patterns of development and growth.

The Faculty consists of six Schools:

• The School of Accountancy, • The School of Business Sciences, • The School of Economics and Finance, • The School of Law, • The Graduate School of Business Administration (Wits Business School), and • The Wits School of Governance

The Faculty offers three undergraduate programmes in Commerce:

1. a three-year Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com), 2. a three-year Bachelor of Accounting Science (B.AccSc), and 3. a three-year Bachelor of Economic Science (B.EconSc).

Three undergraduate programmes are offered in Law:

1. a four-year LLB programme as a first degree for students wishing to study law 2. a three-year LLB programme for students who hold any prior degree but who have not completed any law

subjects, and 3. a two-year LLB programme for students who hold any prior degree who have law as a major subject.

In addition the Faculty offers its undergraduate B.Com degree on a part-time study basis through Wits Plus, which serves as a centre for part-time studies at Wits University.

IHELE (THE PROCESSION)

Ihele is known as the ‘Black’ Gaudeamus Igitur. In song, the writer, Mnomiya usesvery poetic language to describe a graduation ceremony. The soloist sings of the‘strange’ procession of people in long robes and head gear. The choir responds bysaying that these people are academics who read profound books of knowledge.

Mnomiya goes on to say that the graduates are an inspiration to all of us, and we willalso graduate like them one day. The song goes on to wish the graduates well and it ends with a resounding “Halala” (well done!).

THE PROCESSION

THE UNIVERSITY MACE

Maces were originally weapons of defence, designed to break through armour. In medieval times, bishops carried a mace instead of a sword into battle to enable them to defend themselves in accordance with the canonical rule that forbade a priest to shed blood. In time, the mace has come to be regarded as a symbol of delegated authority vested in a person or an institution. At this University, it is a symbol of the authority vested in the Chancellor and a reminder of the mandate given by the legislature of this country to the University to grant degrees.

The University mace is the work of the Edinburgh designer, silversmith and engraver, William Kirk, who designed and made the mace of the University of Stirling and of other institutions. It is silver-and gold-plated, is 1070 millimetres long and 180 millimetres broad and weighs seven kilograms. The heraldic devices used in the decoration refl ect the character of this University as an institution of learning, set in a mining centre within the Republic of South Africa.

The head of the mace with its spreading vertical blades is symbolic of the horns of a springbok. The central vertical spike is representative of a rock drill on the mine, and the amber stone set in the head is intended as a tribute to a past Chancellor through its association with his name, Bernstein, which in German means amber stone. The heavy quality of the head is consistent with the traditional concept of the mace as a weapon of defence. The collar repeats the shape of the head. It consists of eight cogs which symbolise the cog-wheel in the University coat of arms and represents mining and industry. The shaft is octagonal and divided into three sections. The coat of arms of the University is placed on the shaft under the collar. Below this the words Universitas Witwatersrandensis Johannesburgi: are inscribed, followed by the date in Roman numerals – MCMLXXVI (1977) – which signifi es the year of the dedication of the mace.

The mace is a symbolic portrayal of this University, this city, the Witwatersrand and the Republic of South Africa. It is a constant reminder to members of Council and Senate to uphold at all times the rights, powers and privileges of the University and its governing bodies.
