Alexander von Humboldt Foundation donates equipment    
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.
