The Memorial Thesis Award was introduced to honour the memory of the late Professor Christof Heyns, who passed away in March 2021. Professor Heyns was a founder of the Pretoria University Law Press and took the initiative towards the introduction of this prize. This prize underlines his exceptional passion for promoting scholarship and a life devoted to initiating innovative ideas to make the world a better place for all. There can be no better way to begin to recognise the enormous contribution that Professor Heyns has made to advancing scholarship, research and publication in Africa, by Africans and on Africa.
The prize was awarded based on the assessment of a panel consisting of Professor Hennie Strydom, University of Johannesburg (Convener), Professor Johanna Botha, Nelson Mandela University, Port Elizabeth and Professor Solomon Ebrobrah, Niger Delta University, Nigeria. The criteria used by the panel include the inherent quality of the research, as well as the relevance of the topic to African challenges and the originality of the approach.
