National Bioscience Month, an initiative of the Department of Science and Technology implemented by the South African Agency for Science and Technology Advancement (SAASTA), is aimed at highlighting the importance of biological sciences.

As part of this initiative, the African Coelacanth Ecosystem Programme (ACEP) collaborated with the Palabora Foundation, the SAEON Ndlovu Node and Mary Raganya, an educator at Vuxeni High School in Namakgale, to present an exciting, action-packed programme in Limpopo Province. ACEP is a flagship programme of the Grahamstown-based South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity (SAIAB), host to another SAEON node - the Elwandle Node.
