Listen: #WomensMonth2025 - CSIR pioneers honoured for 80 years of touching lives through innovation

From Durban to Rosebank (Western Cape) to Pretoria, this special sound bite feature brings together remarkable CSIR women from all these regions, who took a moment to reflect on the beauty of this month and the strides of CSIR women in our community and beyond.
