Abstract
Using literature from his own works and underpinned by the Social Justice Theory, the paper presented and discussed Sechaba Mahlomaholo creation of sustainable environment for teaching and learning by the marginalised at all levels of education. While Sechaba focused on the marginalised his work did not specifically make specific reference to creating a sustainable teaching and learning for students with disabilities in the context of higher education, who also belong to the category of the marginal however due to impairment related disadvantaged, their learning needs are different and unique from the other marginalised, warranting a specific focus on creating a sustainable teaching and learning environment specifically designed for them as ‘special’ category. The aim of the present paper was to therefore to present Sechaba’s work in terms of working towards achieving and attainment of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) of providing quality education to all and lifelong learning and also provide further discussion of creation of sustainable teaching and learning for students with disabilities in the context of South African higher education, working towards also achieving SDG5 related specifically to persons with disabilities. The purpose of so doing was to honor Sechaba and also extend his legacy to include students with disabilities in his work of creating sustainable teaching and learning for a ‘special’ marginal social group, which his seminal work had overlooked.
