Professor Christof Heyns: A giant in human rights education
01 April 2021
The monumental contribution that Professor Christof Heyns has made to advance human rights in Africa and beyond emerged this week from a memorial Facebook page created to honour the former director of the Centre for Human Rights, which is part of the faculty of law, University of Pretoria, South Africa.
The 62-year-old Heyns died on 29 March while on a hike near Stellenbosch, South Africa.
Heyns was the director of the Centre for Human Rights from 1999 to 2006, the dean of the faculty of law at the University of Pretoria (UP) from 2007 to 2010 and thereafter became the founding co-director of the Institute for International and Comparative Law in Africa at UP.
