A mother and her daughter have made
history by graduating with degrees in
Pharmacy in the same year from the same
institution, iMzansi reports.
Nozibele Mpanga, a traditional healer, and
her 29-year-old daughter Nolindo were
capped at the University of the Western
Cape.
The mother had decided to go back to
school at the age of 56, a choice that
inspired her daughter to add another
feather to her cap.
The slimkoppe, who live in Khayelitsha,
have been burning the midnight oil
together for the past four years.
Nozibele started studying in 2011, after she
was diagnosed with cancer and was
healed.
She says she wanted to marry her gifts as
a traditional healer and modern medicine.
Nozibele tells the Daily Voice: “I have
always had the gift of healing and became a
traditional healer at age 11.
“In Xhosa, you are a pharmacist because you
can pick herbs and administer them but I
wanted to also understand the science
behind it.
“I had cancer of the oesophagus in 2011
and it was in the third stages and was
malignant but I healed and I believe it was
because of my faith and of course the
medicine.”
