Abstract

In the world of academia, there are individuals who stand as beacons of inspiration, mentorship, and unwavering commitment to the pursuit of knowledge. Professor Willemien du Plessis, a stalwart in the field of law and an esteemed academic for over three decades at the North-West University, is unequivocally one such luminary. Her journey through the realms of land and customary law issues in South Africa has not only left an indelible mark on her students and colleagues but has also had a profound impact on the broader legal community. As she prepares to embark on a well-deserved retirement, we, the colleagues and peers whose lives she has touched, take it upon ourselves to celebrate her exceptional contributions with this special edition.
