| Minister Naledi Pandor hounering women of science |
More recognition has been paid to
woman, as we celebrate the last week of the women’s month. The South African
Science and technology Minister Naledi Pandor took a step further, to acknowledge
all women who have made change in their communities through science and
technology. The woman in science celebration has been taking place for over
half a decade as more women enter the science field. A variety of categories
were introduced in all the science levels, this include Fellowship for Masters
and doctorate students, distinguished women scientists and distinguished young
women scientists. It is an houner to see different woman of all ages achieving what
was used to be known as “the impossible” and a predominantly male-dominated
field of science.
Amongst the recognised women were
Professor Relebohile Moletsane who walked away with the Distinguished Woman
Scientist Award. She is known of her great work in publishing several articles
and book chapters on using digital technology and digital story-telling in
rural communities, with a focus on HIV/Aids education. She was joined by Dr
Rapela Maphanga from the University of Limpopo who won the Distinguished Young
Women Scientist Award for her research on computer simulations of
energy-storage device materials. These women encourage every South African
sister to respect science and make a better living for all.
