The University of the Witwatersrand, in Johannesburg, South Africa, has topped Times Higher Education’s (THE) inaugural Sub-Saharan Africa University Rankings. 

The public institution, more commonly known as Wits University, celebrated its centenary last year and has Nelson Mandela amongst its alumni and now becomes the first university to top THE’s innovative new ranking. 

The second highest ranked university is University of Johannesburg in South Africa and in third place is Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences, in Tanzania. 

Four of the top 10 universities are from South Africa and two are from Tanzania. 

Rich nations must do more to help Africa mitigate the devastating impacts of global warming and offer climate justice to the continent, the leader of AXIAN Group says.

‘’There’s a huge injustice, where the people who were polluting less are suffering the consequences of global warming,’’ AXIAN Group CEO Hassanein Hiridjee said. ‘’In Africa we see massive typhoons, massive drought, and massive warming. It’s time for the rest of the world to work with us to combat the crisis.’’

A la COP 27 organisée à Charm el-Cheikh, en Egypte, l’heure semble être aux décisions fortes et à la prise en compte de la responsabilité des dirigeants pour la préservation de la planète. Les experts et politiques s’accordent sur le fait que c’est maintenant qu’il faut intensifier l’action climatique. L’Afrique, confrontée à de multiples défis, est l’endroit du monde qui dispose de ressources inexploitées, au point que de nombreux experts pensent que le continent peut être une source de solutions à la crise environnementale à laquelle le monde est confronté.
