News from the schools, July 2007

China- South Africa partnership


A new Confucius Institute for Business is scheduled to open at Tshwane University of Technology in South Africa, later this year. The institute comes courtesy of a 2.8m rand ($403,000) grant from the Chinese government to Tshwane. It will offer courses in Chinese language and culture, aimed specifically at business students.

The investment is a symptom of strengthening academic ties between China and South Africa. The Chinese government now sponsors full scholarships for South African students at Chinese universities; a centre for Chinese-language study has already opened at Stellenbosch University; and 11 Chinese universities have partnership agreements with 15 South African counterparts.
