the expectation is to preform blackness both as subject and object in the role they powerfully describe as the native informant. They argue that the olive branch of friendship offered to black students through white mentorship often hides levels of exploitation and objectification, which can ultimately smother the ability for black students to survive and thrive, both academically and economically. The authors find themselves in a precarious position of racialised knowledge production, simultaneously used as part of the transformation agenda of government and unable to fully exist as subjects without preforming as native informants. This positioning is all the more pertinent given the eruption of student movements that interrogate the raced spaces of contemporary university campuses and the decolonization of education in South Africa.
