Dr Fenji Materechera-Mitochi reporting:
We had a wonderful time at the ASSAf Annual Young Scientist Conference (AYSC) 2026, hosted at iYunivesithi Walter Sisulu, Mthatha Campus this week along with fellow colleagues from the Institute for Water Research (IWR), Rhodes University.
This year’s theme was the Afican Union’s theme of the year 2026: Assuring Sustainable Water Availability and Safe Sanitation Systems to Achieve the Goals of Agenda 2063.
I had an awesome opportunity to represent the Institute for Water Research (IWR), Rhodes University and present our current research work on “Assessing the commercialization potential of the former Transkei’s land and water resources through an integrated water–land–agricultural nexus” as an oral presentation.
