UB graduation 2026

GABORONE 23 October 2026, Vice Chancellor Prof David Noris (L) Acting Chancellor Dr Daniel Tau (R) and DR. Roy Sesana who receives the Doctor of Letters during 3rd day of the University of Botswana (UB) graduation ceremony of the class of 2026 at the UB indoor sports complex in Gaborone on 23 October 2026. A Doctor of Letters is a higher doctorate awarded in recognition of a lifetime of substantial, original contributions to the humanities, arts, or scholarship. Roy Sesana is an indigenous rights activist born on 17th September 1929 in Molapo in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR). He co-founded First People of the Kalahari (FPK) with John Hardbattke in 1991 and became its chairperson in 1995, championing the rights of indigenous communities to remain on their ancestral land and preserve their traditional way of life and cultural heritage. Sesana played a leading role in challenging the relocation of CKGR communities to New Xade and Kaudwane. In 2002, his organisation took the Government of Botswana to court, resulting in a landmark 2006 High Court ruling that the evictions were unlawful and unconstitutional. His advocacy earned him the Right Livelihood
Award in December 2005 for his resolute resistance to the displacement of indigenous communities and his defence of their traditional way of life. Pic:Monirul Bhuiyan/PRESS PHOTO
