University of Johannesburg (UJ) Professor Bheki Twala has received the yearly TW Kambule-NSTF award for his work in building on diverse expertise in making decisions given incomplete information.

The award also recognized his work in using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for predicting and classifying tasks in several fields such as banking and finance, insurance, biomedical, robotics, psychology, software engineering and, most recently, in electrical and electronic engineering science.

He served as the primary inventor in the development of effective techniques in decision support systems given poor data quality.

He had also shown how AI and grey relational systems could be used to predict road traffic accidents in South Africa.
