Good luck, Nozipho. All of South Africa, and Unisa in particular, are cheering you on!
Nozipho Gumbi’s FameLab countdown has begun! She has travelled to the United Kingdom for the FameLab International Finals at the Cheltenham Science Festival where she goes up against 30 country winners for the international title.
Hailing from Eshowe (KwaZulu-Natal), and a PhD candidate at the University of South Africa in the Nanotechnology and Water Sustainability Research Unit, Gumbi won the South African leg of the international FameLab competition in Cape Town in May.
She jetted off on Monday 6 June 2024. She takes part in the international semi-final on Wednesday 8 June and hopes to compete in the final on Thursday 9 June 2024.
