Acting Chinese Consul General in Cape Town Wang Xiao Attends Award Ceremony of Consulate General’s Chinese Dream Scholarship

On 7 November 2026, Wang Xiao, Acting Consul General of the People’s Republic of China in Cape Town, attended the award ceremony of the Consulate General’s Chinese Dream Scholarship, hosted by Chinese International School in Cape Town. More than 200 participants, including Chinese teachers, students from all grades and parent representatives of the school, were present.

Acting Consul General Wang Xiao extended warm congratulations to the scholarship recipients. She thanked the teachers for their active contributions to overseas Chinese-language education and encouraged the students to make the most of their youth, study hard, gain a good command of the Chinese language, undertake the mission of inheriting Chinese culture and nurture the future of China-South Africa friendship. She noted that the Chinese Consulate General in Cape Town would continue to support the development of the Chinese International School in Cape Town and foster more favourable conditions for Chinese-language education across the consular jurisdiction.

Launched in 2019, the Consulate General’s Chinese Dream Scholarship saw 56 students from Grade 1 to Grade 11 receive awards this year. It has continuously ignited enthusiasm for Chinese-language learning among the new generation of overseas Chinese in Cape Town and helped pass on fine traditional Chinese culture from one generation to the next.
