Gaudeamus Igitur

Gaudeamus igitur, Juvenes dum sumus;

Post iucundum iuventutem, Post molestam senectutem

Nos habebit humus.

Vivat academia, Vivant professores,

Vivat membrum quodlibet, Vivat membra quaelibet;

Semper sint in flore!

English

Sesotho sa Leboa

Let us rejoice, therefore,

While we are young. After a pleasant youth

After a troubling old age The earth will have us.

Long live the academy!

Long live the professors! Long live each student;

Long live the whole fraternity; For ever may they flourish!

Ka gona, a re thabeng,

Re sa le ba bafsa. Ka morago ga bofsa bjo bo bose

Ka morago ga go tšofala mo go nago le mathata

Lefase le tla ba le rena.

Phela thuto phela! Phelang diprofesa phelang! Phelang baithuti phelang;

Phela kagišano ka botlalo phela; O ka re ba ka phela gabotse goyagoile!

Afrikaans

Zulu

Laat ons dan vrolik wees,

Terwyl ons jonk is; Na ’n aangename jeug.

Na ’n onaangename oudag, Sal die aarde ons hou.

Lank lewe die universiteit, Lank lewe die professore, Lank lewe elke student,

Lank lewe al die studente, Mag hulle vir ewig hul jeug behou!

Ngakho, masithokoze

Sisebasha nje. Emva kobumnandi bobusha Emva kwezinkinga zobudala

Umhlaba uzosithatha.

Phambili ngemfundo! Phambili boSolwazi!

Phambili nakuwe mfundi; Phambili ngenhlangano yonke; Maziqhubeke ngonaphakade!

6. Doctor Legum (LLD) Tredoux, Liezel Gaynor (Mercantile Law) Thesis: Aspects of the taxation of company distributions in South African law Supervisor: Prof KE van der Linde

22

Tredoux, Liezel Gaynor (LLD) Liezel Tredoux obtained the degrees BA (Law) (1996) and LLB (1998) from the University of Stellenbosch and holds an LLM in Tax Law from the University of Pretoria (2003) and a Certificate in International Tax Law from the University of Cape Town (cum laude) (2008). She was admitted as an attorney in 2001, and as an advocate in 2002. She practised as a member of the Pretoria Society of Advocates. She lectured at Damelin, the University of Pretoria, and Bond University. Ms Tredoux has been a senior lecturer in tax law at the University of South Africa since 2008. During her doctoral studies she was a visiting researcher at the UNSW Business School, (University of New South Wales, Australia), Osgoode Hall Law School (University of York, Canada), the University of British Columbia (Canada), and the International Bureau for Fiscal Documentation (The Netherlands). She has three children: Gizelle, Kelira and Jason. In her thesis, Ms Tredoux compares how different corporate tax structures provide relief against the economic double taxation occurring when income that has been taxed in the hands of the company is again taxed upon its distribution to shareholders. She investigates the Australian imputation system and the Canadian hybrid integration model but concludes that the current South African hybrid dual-rate corporate tax system provides adequate relief and should be retained. She finds, however, that certain significant differences in the taxation rules for returns of an income nature (dividends and income) and returns of a capital nature (returns of capital and distribution of assets in specie) are inequitable, erode the tax base, and conflict with the government’s policy of taxing all net accretions of wealth. She proposes improvements to protect the tax base against erosion and profit shifting, promote equity and certainty, and align South African tax law with international trends.
