The Mexican Ambassador, Ambassador Luis Cabrera and Deputy Head of the Mexican Embassy in South Africa, Chancellor Miguel Malvafòn recently visited the University of the Free State's (UFS) Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences on the Main Campus in Bloemfontein.

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. Here are, from the left, front: Ambassador Cabrera and Prof. Herman van Schalkwyk (Dean of the UFS Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences); back: Chancellor Malvafòn and Prof. Wijnand Swart (Head of CePHMa at the UFS).
