2016 Sponsored student exchange nominees
Every year the IPPS Southern Africa board selects and sponsors three top candidates from the nominations received for the Australia/Southern Africa student exchange programme to attend the annual Southern Africa conference.
This years selected exchange nominees were: Andre Niehaus, Katrien van Zyl and Mpendulo Gabayi.
Each candidate had the opportunity to give a short presentation at conference, introducing themselves, giving their background in horticulture and explain what they thought they would gain from a trip to Australia.
IPPS members at conference had the opportunity to judge each candidates presentation and decide by a vote who should be awarded the opportunity to visit Australia.
