|The Mercury
A CAPE Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) researcher has been recognised for her work into improving South Africa's devastating water poverty problems.
-
Professor Bongani Ncube is the winner of the NSTF-South32 Water Research Commission (WRC) Award.
Since April 2022, Ncube has led the SARChI Research Chair in Governance and Economics for Water and Sanitation, focusing on water security and governance. As such, she is one of roughly 270 DSI-NRF SARCHhI Chairs ~ all held by distinguished experts at various South African universities.
Reacting to the win, Ncube said she was grateful for the support of her colleagues who had motivated her to submit a portfolio of work for consideration. “The compilation needed a lot of time and focus. It took evenings of writing and rewriting to ensure the submission was solid,” she added.
