Eskom, the South African energy company, is significantly increasing its commitment to education and the development of young scientists through its flagship Expo for Young Scientists. Mologadi Motshele, Acting CEO of the Eskom Expo Foundation, highlighted this investment during the recent two-day science fair held in Boksburg, Ekurhuleni. This event serves as a platform for young learners to exhibit their scientific research, innovative ideas, and solutions to real-world problems.
