Tess Peacock

Tess Peacock

My name is Tess Nolizwe Peacock and I am presently in my final year of my postgraduate Bachelor of Laws degree at the University of Cape Town. I am a young activist with a strong commitment to building and contributing to a prosperous and united nation. I have a great sense of being rooted in Africa and acknowledge that whilst the struggle against Apartheid is over, every generation has a new struggle. Our struggle is fighting for a non-racial and non-sexist society where socio-economic rights and access to justice are not mere luxuries for the wealthy in this country.

I believe in the potential of the Constitution as a transformative document to change our society marred by such a grotesque racially polarised past. I also have a meaningful understanding and great empathy for the plight of so many poor and marginalised communities in South Africa. The empowering nature of the law is such that I feel that the legal community, law students and practitioners need to give back to society, be contributing members of their communities and want to improve the lives of fellow South Africans.
