SA-FRENCH COOPERATION: KZN to help Reunion fend off sharks amid a host of agreements, from higher education to space science By Peter Fabricius Pfabric
The long-established KwaZulu-Natal Sharks Board, famous for its expertise in countering shark attacks and its general shark research, signed an agreement in Pretoria on Thursday with the Association for the Shark Risk Resources and Support Centre of Reunion to help Reunion deal with its shark problem.
The French embassy in Pretoria said both shark bodies had agreed to work together to reduce the shark threat in Reunion, which is a French territory.This agreement is deeply meaningful in the context of many shark attacks in La Reunion and the well-recognized South African expertise in that field,” the French embassy said.
The basic education agreement will boost vocational education, school management and leadership, teacher training, expertise on curriculum development, nutrition education and French language teaching in South African schools. Le Drian is also meeting some of the almost 400 French companies based in SA, employing more than 37,000 people directly. These will include the Saint-Gobain enterprise in Germiston, which is empowering South African workers in the field of energy-saving technologies, providing jobs, training and skills transfers.
