Cambridge University in ‘racist row’ over Lion King-themed dinner

Cambridge University is embroiled in a race row after students complained about an African-themed dinner which was based on the Lion King and invited guests to “Bring your Rafikis along”.

The Africa Formal dinner saw undergraduates from Queens’ College dine on traditional foods and drinks from Senegal, Morocco, South Africa and Nigeria.

But some students called for a boycott of the traditional end-of-year event because it represents ‘cultural appropriation’ rather than appreciation.

The invite provoked particular criticism, opening with the words “Hakuna Matata” and signing off: “Bring your rafikis along, and see you all there!”
