CHANGE THE WORLD 1. The motto of Nelson Mandela Metropolitan
University is: “Change the World”, a noble mission inspired by the famous
statement, Nelson Mandela that “education is the most powerful weapon
which you can use to change the world”. For, “it is through education that the
daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mineworker can
become the head of a mine, that the child of farm workers can become the
president of a great nation”. 2. True to the legacy of Nelson Mandela, this
