The Coega Development Corporation (CDC) and the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) last week to ensure integration of their activities in the interests of skills development and research.
NMMU has undertaken to assist the CDC to develop and implement strategy and development programmes that will improve skills and competencies within the specific sectors involved in the development of the Coega IDZ.
The NMMU is working towards the establishment of a maritime and marine faculty and a medical school.
