Centre for Africa-China Studies director at UJ, David Monyae, says there should be clear communication within their relationship.
Earlier this month, Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation Minister Lindiwe Sisulu welcomed 24 Cuban engineers in the country to address South Africaâs water crisis at a cost of R64 million.
This decision was met with criticism with many South Africans asking why local experts could not have been roped in instead.
Director of the Centre for Africa-China Studies at the University of Johannesburg, Dr David Monyae spoke of how the relationship with Cuba was based on how they assisted the country during the apartheid era and most people who live from Africa live in the nations.

Peter Bruce has been a fisherman since he was 16 and is now the skipper of his own boat. But the fishing business in Peterhead, a town in Aberdeenshire, isn’t what it was.
The pandemic and Brexit have hit the industry hard. There were once 120 commercial fishing vessels registered here, now there’s about 30.
“Boris Johnson and the highest levels of government came up to Peterhead, promising a new dawn for the fishing industry and they have really let us down,” Peter says.
Like many people in Scotland, his politics are complicated. His problem isn’t with Brexit itself, which he voted in favour of, but rather the deal that was done with the European Union.
