The focus on transformation
aims to build on the best
of UCT’s present and
past, while interrogating
the historical values and
assumptions that inform our
institutional culture and our
ways of knowing, seeing and
teaching. This interrogation
of coloniality should lead
us to addressing practices
which are experienced as

plans will be developed
in consultation with key
constituencies to ensure that
they are responsive to the
needs of stakeholders.
An appendix will contain
a set of indicators aligned
to the high-level objectives
within which specific
measures and/or targets will
be set after all the plans are
approved. The University
Strategy Forum and Council
will review progress reports
annually. The members of
the executive, the deans and
the executive directors will
set performance objectives
in line with the Strategic
Planning Framework. These
objectives will be monitored
through the Performance
Management System. In
this way the leadership
of the university will be
held accountable for the
attainment of the objectives
in the Strategic Planning
Framework.
The Strategic Planning
Framework contains a set of
high-level institution-wide

based on the institutionwide objectives, with
targets, will be developed
by the professional support

a manner that is appropriate
to their unique contexts. The
