Are you ready for this?

Long has the Western media come into Africa and created stories for their benefit, interviewing parties who fit their idea of the story.

For sure, that is a generalised view, but it often holds true and it’s very rare for someone to stand up to anyone doing so.

But yesterday, this changed.

During a BBC interview with a Wits student doctor at Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital in Johannesburg, another Wits student doctor interrupted, demanding the student to “stop lying”. Footage soon emerged on social media. Details from News24:

The student is seen disrupting the BBC interview by reporter Karen Allen demanding that a fellow student tell the truth about students’ struggles.

“What about the financially excluded students? What about the students who were arrested?” she asks. A BBC producer then demands that the student refrain from raising her voice in a children’s ward.

The student then turns her attention to the BBC producer.

“I’m a student, I have every right to be here. I’m a medical student, I have every right to be here,” the Wits student says.

The student continues to shout at the fellow student doctor “not to lie”.

Here’s the first video – because there are more and it gets better:

The second video then shows the BBC producer telling the student to stop shouting because she is being disruptive.

“Who am I disturbing?” she asks.

“You dumped the baby on my lap and told me to make the baby shush. You are the one that is causing disruption here.”

The third video then sees the student claim the BBC had not been granted permission to interview students:

Did they even get permission to do this interview? I did not give consent. Don’t come and exploit this public space to push your BBC agenda. You are only interested in telling one side of the story. There are thousands of students that are financially excluded. Ask anybody here. Medical school is aware of it.
