&gt;A so-called “fallist” has asked students at the University of Cape Town&#x27;s science faculty to consider scrapping science as a whole if it is ever to be decolonised.<p>&gt;At a panel discussion this week‚ published to YouTube‚ the woman responded to a question about the decolonisation of science.<p>&gt;“Science as a whole is a product of western modernity and the whole thing should be scratched off. Especially in Africa‚” she says<p>Maybe she should be colonised and educated out of her savage ways.
