In addition, the month of July is also used to commemorate National Science Month, which will be launched on 4 July 2026 at the Vaal University of Technology Southern Gauteng Science and Technology Park in Sebokeng.
The launch will be held under the theme: "Science, Technology and Innovation are for everyone”.
