On August 24, 2017, the Chinese Embassy in South Africa held a ceremony bidding farewell to the 29 South African students who were receiving Chinese Government Scholarships to study in China that year (2017年度“中国政府奖学金项目”). A total of more than 100 people including Ambassador Lin Songtian and his wife, South Africa’s Ministry of Higher Education representative Jepi Director, representatives of South African students attended the ceremony. Before this ceremony, the students had participated in three days of pre-departure training in Johannesburg. The total cost of the scholarships offered and the amount of time the students would spend in China is unknown.
