John was brilliant, sarcastic, kind, quirky, enthusiastic, puzzled, funny, angry, and beautiful. He always seemed to be juggling many balls at once. Yet, the juggle had a pattern: better to understand and act in the world so as to be able to make a difference in his beloved country. I trust that other students will, as John Kuhn fellows, uphold his spirit of intellectual rigor, curiosity and integrity.

John recognized that his education was a privilege though he wished that it wasn't; for if the new South Africa was to emerge in force he felt it would have to do better in educating young leaders representing every shade of the rainbow nation. This is why the work of the John Kuhn Fellowship & Trust is crucial.

Simonne Horwitz, Fellow Wits student leader and Rhodes Scholar

To John education stretched beyond narrow academic learning; he believed one should be educated about the world in the broadest sense. John involved himself in the broader community, engaged in public debates about the country and university he believed in and the processes he thought would make them flourish. He was never afraid to speak up.
