A Grade 12 learner at Parow High School won the award for
Best Energy Project at the Eskom Expo International Science Fair (ISF), an expo
for young scientists held recently at the Convention Centre at Emperor’s Palace
in Kempton Park, from Monday 23 to Friday 27 September.
An array of exciting prizes, from full bursaries to cash
prizes, laptops and tablet computers, were awarded to top-performing innovators
this year. Title sponsor Eskom awarded four Special Awards of R10 000 in cash to the Best Female,

Parow learner Lukusa Tshizubu picked up the award for Best
Energy Project. He represented the Stellenbosch region in the Western Cape and
was the recipient of the award.
“The judges adjudicating the Energy Category were impressed
with his project, entitled ‘GreenHauler – Construction Debris Management

“The goal of Lukusa’s project was to build the
‘GreenHauler’ truck, designed to use renewable energy and innovative on-site
debris processing for efficient construction debris management,” Eskom pointed
out.
