TrustAfrica has paid glowing tribute to Dr Blade Nzimande, the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology of South Africa, on Friday 21 October 2022. TrustAfrica honoured him with a symbolic gift in recognition of his immense contribution to the African development project.

He was in Dakar, Senegal, as part of PanAfrika – the Postgraduate University for Policy Studies in Africa, an initiative of SAPES TRUST. He participated in a two-days Consultative and Planning Meeting, held in Dakar, 20-21 October 2022, with TrustAfrica, Sapes Trust, CODESRIA and the Higher Education Ministry of South Africa as the coorganizers.
