"Universities could also do more to stop the “exploitation of the Global South” by richer, Western nations, Professor Phakeng claimed." For a lot of Africans the Western nations seem to be places they'd prefer to live, and with the Chinese taking control of many of Africa's resources and all too often using extreme violence https://edition.cnn.com/2020/06/27/africa/zimbabwe-mine-shooting-intl/index.html that's unsurprising, though the veiled attack on the West no doubt plays well with the Chinese and the Confucius Institute at UTC http://www.confucius.uct.ac.za/...
