Congratulations to Professor Avinash Govindjee

To Mr. Dev Govindjee ( International cricket match referee), you must be so proud of your son. My heartiest congratulations to you and your family. Please convey my regards to Avinash....Can I be the first to take Avinash for lunch :)))))

Congratulations to the Law Faculty’s Prof Avinash Govindjee on being chosen as one of the Mail & Guardian’s 200 Young South Africans – the publication’s feature of young South Africans you should take to lunch. These are young people who will shape our country in the decades to come, in the sporting arena, in public life and in business.

The two hundred young South Africans who make the final list each year, are divided into a variety of categories: Arts and culture; Business and law; Civil society; Education; Environment; Film and Media; Health; Politics and Government; Science and technology; and Sport. Prof Govindjee was included in the Business and Law category.

In 2011 and 2012, he was the recipient of Researcher of the Year for his faculty. He is an attorney of the High Court and a senior commissioner of the CCMA. He was included in the second Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber’s Top 40 under 40, a list of young business achievers published towards the end of last year.
