SAUJS has existed in various forms and organisations for the last 102 years. The aim of this week’s dinner was to engage in conversation with the older generations of SAUJS members. The audience was addressed by current chairman, Natan Pollack.

In addition to this, a panel discussion consisting of Brenda Stern, David Bilchitz and Mark Pozniak took place. The interesting discussion was led by Israel’s Deputy Ambassador to South Africa Michael Freeman, who himself was involved in student activism in the United Kingdom.

The evening was a huge success and an enjoyable time was had by all.
