For the final leg of the tour in Johannesburg, the Duchess of Sussex continued her focus on education and supporting women and girls with a visit to the University of Johannesburg. A very warm welcome for the Duchess. Meghan and Archie travelled from Cape Town to Johannesburg on Saturday whilst Harry's been travelling in Botswana, Angola and Malawi. Buckingham Palace said this tour was very much designed to "demonstrate a modern UK-Africa partnership in action". The trip was requested by the government ahead of UK-Africa Investment Summit in London 2020, and the Duke and Duchess were said to be delighted to have the opportunity to highlight positive partnerships. The UK's trade with Africa is valued at £33 billion. On Sunday, Harry visited the Campaign For Female Education which has been supported by the UK and the Queen's Commonwealth Trust. Joining via Skype, Meghan said: "We’re just so proud as president, and vice-president of the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust, that we can support you in everything that you do because we cannot begin to express how valuable and vital that work is, we’re just incredibly proud to be part of it." The focus on education continued today when Meghan attended a round-table discussion with her patronage the Association of Commonwealth Universities. In January, Her Majesty passed the patronage to her granddaughter-in-law. Meghan was welcomed by Susana Glavan, Director of the British Council in South Africa, and Professor Tshilidzi Marwala. Established in 1913, the Association of Commonwealth Universities is the world’s first international university network, and remains the only accredited organisation representing higher education across the Commonwealth. Founded to lead "common action in matters of common interest", the ACU is governed by its member institutions through an elected council. Meghan joined students and educators who openly discussed challenges for girls gaining access to university. Inside, Meghan delivered remarks. More from the Mail Online: 'As patron of the ACU it has been an incredible year now and we are really working to advocate for what is truly and deeply important to me: education and higher education, specifically is such a key element for growth, for economic growth and personal growth. 'I think so much of what we should be talking about at ACU is supporting people to know that... you can take the next step. So much is about having the support and scholarships and funding for students. That was the reason I was able to attend university. At the same level you need to have that support on the inside to be able to give as much back to those in the education system.' The Duchess also touched on her visit to Victoria Yards. "Yesterday I had a really interesting conversation about the economy and well-being. I think so much of what we should be talking about and energies should be focused on, specifically with the ACU is supporting people to know if you don't have the support that is necessary, that you feel you can keep taking the next step, then you're stumbling in growth. I went to University. It takes a village doesn't it?" Meghan referenced the importance of family support and scholarships in her own journey. Meghan was very excited to announced three new gender grants. "This is key - obviously they are going to be in universities here. The goal here is to be able to have gender equality, to be able to support women as they are working in higher education and research". Meghan continued: "When a woman is in power it changes absolutely everything in the community, and starting in an educational atmosphere is really a key point of that." The Duchess also announced four new Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarships. Students from Tanzania, Zambia and Nigeria have been selected to study in South Africa. Meghan continued: "I think what is so special about this and part of what's incredible about the Commonwealth in and of itself is that 53 countries all so varied with this Commonwealth, with this universality that connects all of us. I'm thrilled given the context of what's happening in South Africa which I've been following so closely, that we're able to do our small part through the ACU to support people who are just eager to learn." Sussex Royal reports: 'The Duchess said, “Sometimes access to education can seem so big, you wonder where to even begin? So you begin with one student, or one school, you simply begin. And that’s when we see change.” She continued by referencing a Martin Luther King Jr quote: “Take the first step... you don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” More on Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarships: 'Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarships are a life-changing opportunity for cultural exchange and academic collaboration, providing opportunities to study for a two-year Masters in unique environments across the globe. These scholarships are for students committed to creating change in their communities and contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Scholars build deeper and stronger links across the Commonwealth network, acting as ambassadors between home and host countries. More than 35,000 individuals have benefitted from the life-changing opportunities a Commonwealth Scholarship offers and contribute to the development of the future Commonwealth.' Some very excited students gathered to see Meghan. Some excited international students gathered to usher the Duchess in this morning.

Afterwards she said: "Somebody who looks like me, who is as inspired as me, who possibly has the same background as me is going for it and is giving the necessary support to change difference aspects of our country and continent." She added she's "inspired" by Meghan. One reason why the Duchess of Sussex is resonating in South Africa.

She has done so many things. She has contributed to society, especially to African society. She is very interested in playing a positive role by speaking about gender equality and gender abuse." Town & Country reports: 'During her time in South Africa, Meghan has spoken out on the issue of violence against women and made a private visit to the memorial of murdered 19-year-old Uyinene Mrwetyana in Cape Town. Hlengiwe said about the duchess's time in the country: “I feel like she’s very caring. With Uyinene, she went, she wanted to learn more about it. She called the mother...she cared, she came. She knew we were going through a rough time as a country with the whole femicide thing. And she showed her face, which means a lot.” Faith Ghlamini, 22, from Cape Town, who is studying entrepreneurship, missed her finance class to catch a glimpse of Meghan, joking “this is commitment” about her dedication to seeing the duchess. “She paves a path of thinking differently; you can do anything, you can be anything,” she said.' Johannesburg is South Africa's biggest city, it began as a 19th-century gold-mining settlement. It's sometimes referred to as 'Egoli' meaning 'place of gold'. I was interested to learn the leafy city is home to ten million trees across parks, streets and private gardens. Below, an overview of landmarks and architecture. The Duchess wore Banana Republic's Double-Breasted Trench Dress in khaki (with thanks to Caroline Parr). The $139 sleeveless dress is described as a "traditional twist on the season's blazer dress, this trench-inspired version has a double-breasted front." It's available at Banana Republic and The Iconic. Meghan teamed the dress with her Stuart Weitzman Legend pumps in haze beige. Later, the Duchess will visit a school to learn about the work of a local charity which receives UK aid funding to raise awareness and tackle sexual violence in schools.
