Nzimande apresenta orçamento de mais de 10 bilhões de rands para a ciência

O ministro Blade Nzimande defendeu uma agenda de ciência e inovação liderada pela África ao apresentar um orçamento superior a 10 bilhões de rands no Parlamento. Os recursos visam promover a pesquisa e o desenvolvimento em todo o continente.

O ministro de Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação apresentou hoje a votação do orçamento de sua pasta. Ele enfatizou que a África deve construir uma agenda de pesquisa soberana projetada, financiada e liderada por africanos, com o apoio de parcerias internacionais justas.

Os partidos políticos tiveram reações mistas. Lusizo Makhubele, presidente do Comitê de Portfólio, descreveu o orçamento como essencial para transformar a África do Sul em uma produtora de inovação, em vez de uma consumidora de importações. Outros parlamentares levantaram preocupações sobre o desemprego juvenil e os recursos limitados para instituições de inovação.

Nzimande anunciou que a primeira edição do Mês Nacional da Ciência terá início em 4 de julho. O roteiro do departamento para 2026/27 foca em inteligência artificial, economia verde e resiliência nacional.
