Zimbabwean born and
bred Dr Basil Kransdorff has been hailed a visionary and lobbyist for
affordable, effective, bio-available nutrition that results in nutrient
repleteness. In recognition of his role
in combating malnutrition and hidden hunger he recently received an Honorary
Doctorate at the University of Kwazulu Natal’s College of Health Sciences
Graduation ceremony.
Kransdorff’s vision
is to ‘find every Einstein on the African continent’ through ensuring that
people become nutrient replete. His commitment is to halt poverty using
state-of-the-art understandings of nutrition to end micro nutrient
deficiencies.
Speaking at the
ceremony Kransdorff said: ‘Healthy, physiologically functional human beings are
better able to participate in sustainable solutions in the development of
communities. Nutrient replete children are better able to focus, co-ordinate
and concentrate and therefore be educated.
‘Malnutrition is rampant across the continent,
and with such population growth, it can only get worse. The magnitude and time
frame means we have little time to find practical and affordable solutions to
problems of malnutrition, health, poverty and sustainable development. We need
to ensure thriving societies in South Africa and the continent.
We have a nutrition
crisis from problems that sit in our food chain. A nutrient deficient work
force results in absenteeism from opportunistic sickness, lack of energy,
reduced concentration, fatigue, road and other accidents and a loss of
productivity.
‘Our species is at risk of destroying itself
if we continue to use unsustainable past paradigms and part solutions to the
enormous challenges ahead.’
As a social
entrepreneur for the past 14 years, he has pioneered and developed the science
of e’Pap Technologies, focused on achieving nutrient repleteness – redressing micro
nutrient deficiencies in populations across Africa through fortified foods that
are effective, affordable and tasty.
e’Pap is referred to
as an African Solution to a Global Problem and was chosen by the International
Marketing Council of South Africa as a brand champion. It sells in 15 countries
across Africa. Through word of mouth marketing (e’Pap Effect) up to 2 million
food portions a month and over 150 million portions have been distributed since
its inception.
Please feel free to pass on this invitation and please RSVP to
facilitate catering.
Sandwiches and tea will be served
