Thursday, 20 November 2025
The Acting Head of the Wellness Sciences Department, A/Prof Kareemah Najaar, has been crowned as one of the winners in Good Hope FM’s Warrior Woman Awards.
The awards honour “South African women who are changing the game, not for applause, but because it’s who they are at their very core”.
Najaar won the Education and Research category and is being recognised for the matric Life Science Revision Project.
Launched in 2018 by Najaar, the initiative was designed to support learners in achieving the minimum entry requirements for higher education science programmes.
“I feel a heartwarming sense of gratitude as the recipient of this award. I will however also say that the recipients are who make this project possible, from the co-project leaders, tutors to the teachers and the learners. In addition, without the support of my Faculty and CPUT, this project will not be possible. Our passion and vision to re-dress education inequality within STEM is being acknowledged and that means so much to me,” she said.
