I am happy to see as a friend in this site. I am also happy to you were a student of pretoria because I was also submitted an application at University of Pretoria for PhD on Climate Change last year, even I admitted but unfortunately till now I have not found any funding. This year I also submitted an application to Climate System Analysis Group, University of Capetown, the application is in the process. If you have any information about fellowship opportunity please kindly inform me.
Regards,
Kattel
