The Mail & Guardian has a feature on Kader Asmal, who is leaving politics to take on a post at the University of the Western Cape in Bellville. Asmal's peripatetic career in opposition to the Apartheid state and in support of democracy took him to Bellville in 1994, where he lectured at UWC after he returned from exile. Asmal's career has blended academic and activism and politics in vital ways and one wishes for him a long career at UWC.
