The G20 Africa Day at the University of Mpumalanga was a powerful celebration of Africa’s new role as a leader in science and innovation. People from all walks of life students, scientists, and leaders gathered to share ideas and plan real actions that will help Africa grow its own technology and talent. The event showed how the continent is moving from just receiving help to shaping the future, with a strong focus on teamwork and local creativity. It was a hopeful day, full of energy and determination to build a brighter, homegrown future for Africa.
South Africa is taking a big step towards enhancing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in the region. Thanks to the collaboration between Deputy Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, Mr Buti Manamela, and multinational company Sasol, the University of Mpumalanga will receive a mobile science laboratory on May 17th.
