Three UCT scholars were among 19 top researchers honoured by the National Research Foundation (NRF) at its President's Awards, held in Pretoria on 30 August.

Categories for the awards were A-rated researchers and P-rated researchers, as well as a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Professor George Ekama of the Department of Civil Engineering, Professor Hans-Peter Kunzi of the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics and Professor David Schalkwyk of the Department of English Language and Literature all received A-ratings from the NRF in 2006.

The Lifetime Achievement Award was given to former UCT vice-chancellor, Dr Mamphela Ramphele.

The awards, which recognise researchers who have made a significant impact in their field, were presented by NRF president, Professor Mzamo Mangaliso.
