Graduate Conquers All to Pass Summa Cum Laude Refusing to let disability define his future, Siyabonga Khumalo, a person of short stature (with dwarfism), has graduated from the University of KwaZulu-Natal with 21 distinctions, 14 Certificates of Merit, and six Dean's Commendations. On Thursday, the 21-year-old received a standing ovation from fellow graduates, academics and guests who packed the Westville Campus Sports Centre for the graduation ceremony where he attained his Bachelor of Social Sciences degree summa cum laude (having obtained an average of 80% or more on all modules). Khumalo, who stands at 102cm tall, was born with scoliosis, a condition that affects the curvature of the spine, and dwarfism, a medical condition associated with short stature. From a young age, he aspired to achieve more for himself. Driven by a deep sense of curiosity, a passion for learning, and an unwavering belief in his ability to succeed despite his disability, he remained focused on his goals. He completed his schooling at Sarel Cilliers High School, where he was named the 2022 Dux Scholar - an award that recognises the learner with the highest overall matric average and outstanding academic performance.  Siyabonga was also honoured with the Mathematical Literacy award, reflecting his consistent dedication and discipline throughout the year. For him, these accolades were not the destination but a source of motivation to aim even higher. “When I got to university, I kept that same mindset,” he said. “I told myself that a real distinction meant 80% and above, even though the official mark is lower. I wanted to push beyond the standard and challenge myself.” That mindset carried him through his degree, where he majored in Anthropology and Psychology, two fields closely tied to his passion for people. He said, “I have always loved listening to people and understanding their stories. Anthropology helped me see the bigger picture, on how culture and society shape us, while Psychology helped me understand individuals and mental health.” At UKZN, he found space to challenge stereotypes, speak up for inclusivity, and prove, through his own achievements, that excellence has nothing to do with physical stature. “Education became more than just studying; it became a way for my voice to be heard and for me to show that your circumstances do not define your potential.” Khumalo won the University Teaching and Learning Office Innovations in the Science of Teaching and Learning Conference competition twice (2024 and 2025) and was actively involved in organisations such as the Golden Key International Honour Society, the Campus HIV and AIDS Support Unit, and the Differently Abled Student Association. He is also currently serving as the First-Year Experience (FYE) mentor in the office of the Dean of Teaching and Learning in the College of Humanities. Khumalo says his mother is especially overjoyed, knowing that her sacrifices have made this possible. “For her, this degree is as much hers as it is mine.”  Now, with his undergraduate degree complete, he is currently pursuing his honours degree, with the aim of doing his master’s, and earning his PhD before turning 40 ultimately becoming a clinical psychologist.  Khumalo is one of the 153 students with disabilities graduating at this Autumn.

At just 25, Dr Phumelele Basi has made history as UKZN’s youngest PhD graduate. Her achievement is a powerful inspiration to young South Africans, showing that determination and excellence can break barriers. #news #PhD #education #success #inspiration Read on tinyurl.com/5c6w3ams

I don’t agree. We just don’t care. Our parents were busy too but still showed up. My mom would come back from school, put her bag down, wear a sock and shawl to pay her respects to a family that suffered a loss. This was a norm in many communities. We just don’t care.

You literally said this last night

Residents in the Northern Cape province of South Africa 🇿🇦 woke up to rare snowfall after a strong cold front moved across the region. Towns such as Richmond, Noupoort, and Colesberg recorded the heaviest snow, with streets and open land covered in white.
