A little bit about Emeritus Professor Ken MacGregor:
Passionate and committed to computing, to his staff and to his students, he was one of UCT’s best-known professors, whose sense of humor, larger than life personality and Scottish accent were as legendary as his sense of fairness and his integrity. His knowledge of UCT and its people, his strategic thinking and innovative nature were at the heart of the department’s success over the years. Thanks to his outgoing, friendly, highly entertaining and often irreverent sense of fun, he was extremely well known not only within but also far beyond university circles.
