The student exchange nominees who had been awarded the opportunity to attend the 2019 annual conference held in Stellenbosch, were Elmien Coetser, Tlangelani Kwinika & Thembi Macata
The IPPS Southern Africa board each year selects and sponsors three top candidates from the nominations received for the Australia/Southern Africa student exchange programme.
Each candidate will have the opportunity to introduce themselves and their background in horticulture, through a short presentation at the Regional Conference. This talk includes a short presentation on a horticultural field of interest and explaining what they personally hope to gain from the international exposure.
IPPS members attending the conference will judge each candidate’s presentation and decide by a vote who should be awarded the opportunity to visit Australia.
