Abstract

Since the end of 2019, the world faced a major health crisis in the form of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. To mitigate the impact of the pandemic, governments across the globe instituted measures such as restricting local and international travel and in many cases, ordering citizens to stay indoors. Considering the social and economic impact of these restrictions it becomes crucial to investigate internet citizens’ (netizens) perception about the precautionary measures adopted. The study is anchored in the digital public sphere theory, which treats social media applications as virtual platforms where netizens commune to share ideas and debate about issues that affect them. Social media platforms already have critical public views on the current pandemic. However, the majority of this data is unstructured and difficult to interpret. Natural language processing (NLP), on the other hand, makes the task of gathering and analysing vast amounts of textual data feasible. Extracting structured knowledge from natural language, however, comes with unique challenges due to diverse linguistic properties including abbreviation, spelling mistakes, punctuations, stop words and non-standard text. In this work, The Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) algorithm was applied to tweeter data to extract topics discussed by netzens from Zimbabwe and South Africa.  The primary focus of this paper, is to comparatively explore the variety of topics that occupied twitter communities from the two countries. We examine whether or not the national identities that define and differentiate citizens of these countries also exist on Twitter as evident in the emerging topics. Furthermore, this work investigated public opinion by analysing how citizens discuss the issues around the COVID-19 pandemic on social media

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into higher education has prompted widespread speculation about the potential obsolescence of university lecturers. While AI systems demonstrate impressive capabilities in content delivery, assessment, and personalisation, this research critically examines the assumption that they can replace human educators. This issue is particularly complex, given that effective higher education involves not only the transmission of information but also the development of cognitive, emotional, ethical, and social aspects. Despite advances in AI technologies, current discourse often neglects the irreplaceable human functions that underpin transformative education. Addressing this gap, the study adopts a human-centred framework to investigate essential lecturer capabilities, limitations of AI systems, and the design of optimal human-AI collaboration. Using qualitative methods, including stakeholder interviews and comparative institutional analysis, the findings reveal ten educational domains where human capabilities remain indispensable, from emotional support and ethical mentorship to adaptive teaching and research integration. AI excels in routine, scalable tasks, yet lacks empathy, moral agency, and contextual understanding. Consequently, this research proposes a collaborative model in which AI enhances rather than replaces lecturers, thereby supporting educational quality and student development. The findings have significant implications for institutional policy, faculty development, and the ethical integration of AI in education, affirming the enduring and transformative role of human educators in the digital age.
