Globalization can be a poison to the diversity of our cultures and traditions. But we can also turn globalization into an enhancer of this diversity. ICC uses globalization to create a human network and promotes the victory of knowledge over ignorance, of respect over racism. By presenting Zimbabwe and South-Korea we want UKZN students to value these two cultures in a post-xenophobic attack context.
