Introducing Anica Oppermann,
Information Officer at DAAD Johannesburg
"I am very excited to have joined the DAAD South Africa Team this year in July, because somehow it feels like all roads have led me here. Over the years I have been assisting various individuals in one way or another to get to Germany for their individual reasons. I am honoured to now, yet again support the exchange of students and researchers who would like to experience the magic that Germany is."
