30 Under 30

We’re excited to share that Maambele Khosa (Ambie), Head of Communication at the Centre for Epidemic Response and Innovation (CERI), Stellenbosch University, has been named to the Forbes Africa 30 Under 30 list!

This annual list highlights young leaders across the continent who are making a real difference. At CERI, Maambele plays a key role in helping us communicate complex science in clear, meaningful ways, making sure the public understand the importance of our work.

She also brings an entrepreneurial mindset to everything she does. Maambele is the founder of SheCab, a transport service designed to make travel safer and easier for women in South Africa. On top of that, she’s currently doing her PhD in science communication, focusing on how people engage with information about infectious diseases.

Prof Tulio de Oliveira, Director of CERI, adds: “Ambie is fun, super competent, and her energy is electrifying. She’s an inspiration and always willing to learn. We’re really proud of her.”

We’re happy to celebrate this achievement with Maambele and look forward to what she does next!
