to the University of Natal
|
Radio Khwezi was invited to the University of Natal in Pietermaritzburg on
the 29 April 2002. Dr Jaganyi, a doctor in the department of chemistry, received a
spectrophotometer from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. This apparatus, worth
approximately R270 000, was given to the university to encourage research in the field of
chemistry at an international level. Dr Jaganyi, originally from Kenya, studied in
Erlangen, Germany, for a year and continues to do chemical research at the University of
Natal in Pietermaritzburg.
Mr Heye, a representative of the German ambassador to South
Africa, officially handed over the spectrophotometer on behalf of the Alexander von
Humboldt Foundation.
