AJ-Core to solve serious environmental issues

Dr Mathodi said this during the AJ-Core project launching recently in Selibe Phikwe. The project is titled: ‘Sustainable well-being through rapid detection, remediation and stakeholder awareness of contaminants in environments impacted by mining activities.’

It is in collaboration between Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BIUST), University of Johannesburg in South Africa and Shibaura Institute of Technology, Kagoshima University, Kyoto University from Japan. According to DRTS representative Dr Mathodi, they strongly believe that their research could be a lot more productive in generating new knowledge and in addressing society’s problems through collaboration.
