On 4 Oct 2024, I urged our youth to pursue careers in science at the Richmond Career Expo. Just as science lifted over 500 million people out of poverty in China, it can transform lives in South Africa. #STEMCareers #InnovationForGrowth

As part of my official visit to Tanzania, I had the honour of visiting the memorial and burial site of South African freedom fighters. I laid a wreath and observed a moment of silence to pay tribute to their bravery and sacrifice.
