in the essay category was João Nuno Freire Melo

Commenting on the entries, Paolo Nespoli said:
“The jury was truly impressed by the grasp of
technology, the maturity of ideas, the quality of
compositions and the creativity of artwork in this
year’s entries. The DStv Eutelsat Star Awards
shines a spotlight on the potential of the many
inspired and motivated students in Africa who are
passionate about the development of their
continent and the opportunities for progress. It is
an honour to assess their work.”
The winners were announced in the presence of
the Permanent Secretary of the Zambian Ministry
of Education, Chishimba Nkosha, who
commented: “I am sure I am speaking on behalf
of everybody here when I say education serves as
the means to bring about the desired change in
society, to develop a generation of virtuous
individuals and thus contribute to the
development of good human beings. I hope that
MultiChoice Africa and Eutelsat will continue to
inspire not only young Zambians but the youth all
over the continent to take up careers in sciences
so that Africa can produce more engineers,
astronauts, medical doctors and others in the
future.”
