The closing date for the submission of nominations for five members of the Convocation to the Excom of the Convocation was 18 May 2020 at 16:30. A total of six nominations were received and scrutinised, after which two nominations were declared invalid due to substantial non-conformance with the requirements laid down. The remaining four candidates are thus elected to the Excom and will serve for a period not exceeding five years.

1. Dr Pieter Bettings

The Ambassador also met with cactus pear researchers at the UFS and developments concerning the memorandum of understanding which was signed last year between the Centre for Plant Health Management (CePHMa) at the UFS and the University of Chapingo in Mexico were also discussed.
