The South African Chamber of Commerce UK extends its warmest congratulations to Navi Pillay following the announcement that she has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

A globally respected jurist, human rights advocate and former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ms Pillay has dedicated her career to advancing justice, equality and human dignity. Her remarkable achievements continue to inspire South Africans and the international community alike.

Responding to the news, Ms Pillay reportedly joked that she did not quite believe it was real, reflecting the humility that has characterised her distinguished career.

This recognition is a proud moment for South Africa and a fitting tribute to a lifetime of service in the pursuit of human rights and peace.

We congratulate Navi Pillay on this well-deserved honour and celebrate her enduring contribution to making the world a more just and equitable place.
