@NRF_News has done more than support my research and career, it’s inspired me to use science to drive real change. Astronomy may study the stars, but it’s deeply human too. This Youth Month, I reflect on how far I’ve come, and how purpose-driven science can transform lives!

I welcome the engagement with @EUCOPresident António Costa and his encouragement on the formation of the GNU as a demonstration of South Africa’s strong commitment to democracy and the rule of law. South Africa and the @EuropeanUnion share the same values of democracy, human rights, dignity and equality. I look forward to our South Africa-EU Summit on 13th March 2025, to consolidate our strong bilateral partnership and to discuss, regional developments as well as continental and global issues. I also look forward to working together with the leadership of the EU in ensuring a successful #G20 in line with our chosen theme and in tackling the most pressing global challenges. #G20SouthAfrica 🇿🇦

I look forward to the bilateral #SouthAfrica-EU summit on 13 March. I expressed the EU’s full support to South Africa’s leadership of @g20org and its ambition to strengthen multilateral cooperation and the Pact for the Future to address the most pressing global issues.
