A delegation from the University of Cape Coast (UCC) in Ghana visited UCT for a week-long exploratory exercise to initiate talks and establish connections, in the spirit of UCT's Afropolitan goal.

Delegates from UCC included Professor Stephen Kendi (dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences) John Kofi Nyan (registrar), Caxton Oduro-Donkor (director of finance), Dr Kibiru Koredele Azeez (director of health services) and Priscilla Babaa Bansah (junior assistant registrar).

Kendi said that "UCT offers a well-structured arrangement for research and this shows in the quality and output of its research community."

The meeting concluded with an agreement by both institutions to work closer together to understand each other's higher education landscapes, national constraints and opportunities.
