Anton Lubowski Memorial Lecture 

Monday, 12 September 

The annual lecture is presented to honour the memory of Anton Theodor Eberhard August Lubowski, a Namibian anti-apartheid activist and advocate who was assassinated outside his home in Windhoek on 12 September 1989. At the time of his death, Lubowski was a member of the Windhoek Bar.  

Anton Lubowski was a Stellenbosch student and a Simonsberg resident in the seventies. He initially enrolled at SU in 1972 for a BCom degree but transferred to a BA Law degree in 1973 and graduated in March 1976. 

The theme of the lecture annually is around social justice in society today.
