Lindokuhle Dlamini (PhD)

Pictures are better storytellers! I present to you Dr Lindokuhle Xolani Dlamini (PhD)! The 17th of April 2024 will forever be the most important and memorable day! The University of the Free State conferred the Doctor of Philosophy degree majoring in Soil Sciences.

@GodPenuel What about going through a costly process called a "postnuptial contract" application in the High Court to change your marital regime.  will this also be invalid? Doing this after paying lobola ?

Constitutional Court rules that pre-nups AFTER Customary Marriage are Invalid || Lobolo = Marriage Black Coffee x Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa

PostDoc opportunity!

@Swelabelusi Congratulations 🎊!

Masters done, PhD next 🙏

Well done KZN! 👌

Your paper isn't getting rejected because your research is bad. Here's what actually gets papers rejected ⤵️ Your literature review is outdated Copying and paraphrasing old reviews? Editors spot this instantly. They want fresh citations from the last 2-3 years. You're working on exhausted topics When 1000+ papers already exist on your topic, your work needs something genuinely new. First movers get published. Fast followers get cited. Your sample is too small or convenient Student samples? Snowball sampling? Convenient sampling? Desk rejection. Premier journals demand robust methodology. No theoretical contribution Data without theory = rejection. Your findings need to advance how we understand the phenomenon. You're defending instead of revising Getting a revise-and-resubmit is rare (5-7% of submissions). Treat reviewer comments like gold. Implement them. Don't defend. The 3 things that changed my acceptance rate: → Mixed methods over single studies → Multiple experiments in one paper → Including co-authors with complementary expertise Publishing isn't about being perfect. It's about being strategic! What's been your biggest publishing challenge? 1/6

This is probably gonna be a useful package!

Only 70% of PhD students ever finish. I've supervised dozens to completion. After 20+ years, here's the 5-step system that actually works:

@kareem_carr Hi

Twitter is cool. But it’s 10x better when you connect with people who like playing with data. If you’re into data science, math or statistics, say hi.

I still need therapy! A good psychologist to help me heal!

I'm gonna finish this PhD. I'm gonna finish this PhD. I'm gonna finish this PhD. I'm gonna finish this PhD. I'm gonna finish this PhD. *screams for two hours, takes a deep breath* I'm gonna finish this PhD. I'm gonna finish this PhD. I'm gonna finish this PhD. I'm gonna finish-
