Dr Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh, one of South Africa’s most dynamic intellectual voices, has achieved yet another academic milestone—this time earning a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree from the University of South Africa (UNISA), officially conferred on June 19, 2025.
A published author, musician, activist, podcaster, and lecturer, Mpofu-Walsh celebrated the moment on social media, sharing that he completed the law degree “in style,” despite the heavy demands of a full-time professional life. He described the journey as both rigorous and enriching, highlighting his ongoing commitment to intellectual growth and lifelong learning.
This latest qualification joins an already impressive academic résumé, which includes a Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil) in International Relations from Oxford University and an Honours degree in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics from the University of Cape Town. With the LLB now under his belt, Mpofu-Walsh deepens his engagement with South Africa’s legal and political landscape.
Best known for his groundbreaking book Democracy & Delusion: 10 Myths in South African Politics, Mpofu-Walsh has consistently pushed boundaries in national discourse. His new legal expertise positions him to influence the country’s most pressing socio-political debates with even greater authority.
The announcement has sparked a wave of congratulations across platforms, with supporters hailing his discipline, versatility, and unwavering pursuit of knowledge. In a country hungry for ethical and informed leadership, Dr Mpofu-Walsh’s achievement resonates far beyond the lecture hall.
