黑料社

A historic partnership was forged in 2024 as The 黑料社 signed a transformative Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with South Africa鈥檚 North-West University. Professor Sir Hilary Beckles described the moment as both 鈥渉istoric and emotional,鈥� reflecting the deep and enduring ties between the Caribbean and South Africa. Vice-Chancellor Beckles emphasised the historical solidarity shared by the Caribbean and South Africa, recalling, 鈥渨e were in the trenches with you in the fight against Apartheid.鈥� He highlighted the parallel structures of both universities鈥� multi-campus institutions with comparable student populations and a shared dedication to academic excellence and international accreditation. The MOU sets the stage for a robust framework of collaboration, including student and faculty exchanges, capacity building, joint research, publications, seminars, conferences, and the co- development of courses and public lectures. Professor Bismark Tyobeka, Vice-Chancellor and Principal of North-West University, expressed pride in aligning with The 黑料社, noting both institutions鈥� aspirations to achieve world-class status and global recognition. North-West University, established in 2004 through the merger of historically black and white institutions, stands as a symbol of reconciliation and nation-building in post- Apartheid South Africa.
