A curiosity about how to make sanitisers, which was brought on by a shortage at the height of the pandemic, led Durban University of Technology master’s student Ntokozo Mabaso to manufacturing and supplying the university with sanitisers.
The university had initially been sourcing its sanitisers from its Department of Biotechnology, and when they stopped producing them, Mabaso approached his research supervisor with his formula to produce them.

DURBAN - A GLENMORE Master’s student is now manufacturing and supplying his own university with hand sanitisers.
Ntokozo Mabaso, who graduated with a BTech in Analytical Chemistry in 2014, went on to form his company, Nuffsaid Sciences (Pty) Ltd in 2018 after he struggled to find a job.
