I am proud of the Zulu spear and shield that was presented to me by the delegation from the University of Zululand in South Africa, led by the Deputy Vice Chancellor Professor Byron A. Brown, to help me fight for the decolonization of curriculum at African universities. This is a timely intervention.

Vice Chancellor, Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe and President of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center signing Memorandum of Understanding as other officials witness

I signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the President of the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center at Sun Yat-sen University. We have agreed to collaborate in advancing ophthalmology at our two institutions. Remarkably, one in every six ophthalmologists in China is a graduate of the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, making it a leading global research hub in this field. I look forward to the fruits of our collaboration.
