How did Malikane become a professor at WITS? Because of his international peer-reviewed publications?
Did he earn a doctorate revjewed by internationally known external examiners? Where did he earn his Masters Degree which is usually a precursor to being admitted to a doctoral program?
Or was he just appointed on the basis of his "progressive" ideas which by some curious coincidence seem  to be identical to those of the EFF leader Shivambo who at least has earned a Masters in political science?
Malikana's ideas are not about economy but about political science, and escpecially Marxism-Leninism.
Is this really a surprise?
