She talked about Apartheid era when there were countless people who did not own a citizenship, and were not able to get education, medical treatment, or public services, to the present state of South Africa. Listening to this lecture, ICU President Junko Hibiyaasked a question related to linguistics, about how the 11 African languages are related to the education in Africa. Following her question, Devin Stewart (Senior Program Director and Senior Fellow,Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs), and two student from ICU asked questions to Ambassador Pheko about her lecture，and Ambassador Pheko answered to these questions thoroughly. Because of the back and forth of questions and answers, this lecture became a very active and efficient lecture.
