Description: [Editor's Letter]: Study South Africa has been the global mouthpiece of the International Education Association of South Africa (IEASA) and South African Higher Education since the publication of its first edition in 1999. It grew from a publication that served as a guide to South African Higher Education to a comprehensive source of information for the international academic community and others interested in South Africa’s tertiary education sector. This annual publication requires knowledgeable contributors as well as skilful editorial and other technical support. For the past number of years the editorial team was ably supported by Loveness Kaunda from the University of Cape Town (UCT). She provided the publication with her time, energy and knowledge. However, as she retired from her UCT position, she will no longer be available to consult with on a regular basis. This edition of Study South Africa is dedicated to her as a token of gratitude for all her time and passion. Another source of knowledge and inspiration is Patrick Fish - a higher education specialist who does research on topics relevant to the South African Higher Education landscape and provides us with up-to-date information. His writing skills turn the first number of pages of this publication into a real source of information. The knowledge about South African universities will be incomplete without the contributions of the universities themselves. A common trend this year is the focus on excellence of teaching and research as well as the relevance of South African Higher Education to local students functioning in an ever globalising world. It is also evident that most of the South African universities are aware of the need to be globally competitive, not only to attract the best international students, but also to be able to compete in a very competitive global knowledge driven environment. Study South Africa is again proudly presented by IEASA. This edition, focussing on Internationalisation of Higher Education, with a specific focus on South Africa in a changing world, again illustrates the interconnectedness of global higher education. It is envisaged that future editions will explore and document the collaboration between IEASA and similar organisations that is promoting the Internationalisation of Higher Education as well as global trends in international higher education affecting internationalisation of higher education in emerging countries.
