The Inyathelo Board of Trustees, staff and associates are deeply saddened at the passing of committed educator and human rights campaigner Noel Daniels on 18 April 2023.

Noel was a trustee of Inyathelo from January 2012 – October 2018, and was a source of wisdom and experience, particularly in the fields of adult learning, leadership and management. Noel was deeply committed to education, training and development for all, especially those who had been denied access to education in the past.

A former lecturer at UCT, with an M.A. in Education Administration and Management from the University of California, Berkeley, he was the CEO of the Cornerstone Institute, a not-for-profit, private higher education institution offering university-level programmes. Prior to that he was MD of The Fundamental Training Centre, providing leadership and management programmes to companies, government and communities.

Noel will be deeply missed and we extend our sincere condolences to his family, friends and associates.
