Every year, on the 27 th of October, the Foundation hosts the Oliver Tambo Memorial Lecture. The 27 th marks the birthday of this giant. Each lecture strives to showcase the values O.R. espoused, while contextualising them in present-day South Africa. Past lectures have been delivered by, President Kgalema Motlanthe; a panel discussion between Mavuso Msimang, Brigalia Bam, Frank Chikane and Mac Maharaj; and most recently, Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng.
As this is the Centenary year of Oliver Tambo, the Foundation has partnered with the University of Pretoria’s Human Rights Centre to host a series of lectures, commemorating and reflecting on the various facets of Oliver Tambo, as well as the impact he has had on South Africa and world. The partnership will result in a four-part lecture series.
