UKZN Pietermaritzburg Campus — Where SSK Was Founded

Where It All Began

The Initials Behind The Name.

In 2012, three post-graduate students at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg Campus decided not to wait for opportunity — they created it. The name SSK reflects the initials of its three founding partners. Specialising in Environmental Science, GIS & Remote Sensing and Agribusiness, they combined their disciplines to build a firm with one purpose: deliver practical, integrated environmental solutions grounded in science and South African legislation.
