South Africa’s President will tomorrow tell Rishi Sunak to let in hundreds more students from his country in Downing Street talks.
Giving a historic speech to MPs and peers tonight, Cyril Ramaphosa said he wanted to triple the 800 South Africans who had a Chevening Scholarship and 130 studying PhDs in Britain.
In an unscripted intervention he said: “I’d like to see these numbers be increased threefold. And when I meet the Prime Minister tomorrow, that’s particularly the message I’m going to pass on to him.”
