SABC News reporter, Siphesihle Nhlapo, is in NH Hotel in Sandton, where the 2026 South African Women in Science Awards are recognising women researchers and students making significant contributions to science, technology and innovation.

This year's awards, held under the theme "Placing Women at the Centre of Science, Technology and Innovation," shine a spotlight on both established and emerging female scientists.

Siphesihle will take us through their work, the challenges women continue to face in the sector, and how their research could help address some of South Africa's most pressing challenges.
