Bakeng se Afrika is the brainchild of Professor Anna C. Oettlé from Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University and Prof Ericka N. L’Abbé from the Forensic Anthropology Research Centre at the University of Pretoria. They brought together six higher education institutions (three from South Africa and three from Europe) along with the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (Necsa) to create the Bakeng se Afrika consortium. The consortium was awarded a Capacity Building Grant in Higher Education (Erasmus+) from the European Union in 2018 and the project kicked off in 2019.
