2000 Defsa Conference [ Reshaping South Africa by Design June 2000 ]


Opening Address
Author Hon. Minister of Education, Professor Kader Asmal
Description The issue of design and what some call 'soundness of fit' is an area that has held my interest for some time. In my previous portfolio as Minister of Water Affairs and Forestry I participated in the Design for Development Initiative of the SABS Design Institute.

Of particular importance is their annual award scheme involving all Southern African countries that focuses on products specifically geared towards the needs of developing communities. This concept has attracted such international acclaim that it is currently exhibited at the WORLDEXPO 2000 in Hanover as one of the main attractions on the South African Pavilion.
