WRC Presentation Session

The International Marketing Council of South Africa (IMC) hosted six top journalists from the USA who were tasked with reporting on progress in science and technology (S&T) in South Africa. Shattering stereotypes about South Africa was a primary goal of the IMC.

As part of this programme the WRC presented a two-hour presentation session where innovative water research projects were discussed. The efforts of WRC Directors and Research managers were remarkable, given the fact that they were required to compress comprehensive information into fifteen-minute presentations. The WRC made a huge impact on the journalists. They were: Cheryl Pellerin, Roger Bate, Charles Schmidt, Dan Drolette, Gunjan Sinha, Graham Collins, Simon Barber (South Africa) and Graeme Addison (South Africa).
