23-Year-Old NWU Student To Become Youngest African With A PhD

The Golden Key International Honour Society in Tucson, Arizona recently confirmed that Musawenkosi Donia Saurombe is to be the youngest most educated woman in Africa with a PhD. This is testimony that indeed our country is working towards breaking the chains of poverty through education.

Musa recently submitted her PhD thesis in Industrial Psychology and is about to break the record for being the first student at the Mafikeng Campus to complete a PhD at the age of 23 making her the youngest female PhD graduate in Africa.

Musa is one of the few academics to have taken part in the annual international summit of the Golden Key International Honour Society which was recently held in the USA. At the summit she was granted the opportunity of presenting her research which gave her international recognition.

She also serves on the executive management for Golden Key Mafikeng Campus, which is responsible for organising and directing community service events for the organisation. This ensures that the Golden Key Committee reaches out and makes impact in the communities.
