Journey to success
The post reads:
"I began my journey in 2010, studying both BCom in chartered accountancy together with theology at the same time. Indeed, I am a product of God’s Grace, I have seen this God in my life.
“Finally, at the age of 31 years, I can confirm that my PhD in theology is done and dusted, and finally conferred. I passed with Summa Cum Laude, which is the highest honour.
“I can also say “Hello" to my first ever NQF Level 10. And cheers to more that is coming. Ladies and gentlemen, by God’s Grace, I present to you Dr Thapelo Donald Kgabage.”

Another star student bags a PhD
Briefly News ran the story of another local graduate who is showing off his latest achievement, taking to social media to share snaps of his newly-acquired PhD.
The hard-copy certificate was shared by Twitter user @SFobosi, a doctor of Philosophy from the University of Johannesburg.
It's clear the doctor is very proud of his latest achievement. "Welcoming the hard-copy of my #NQFLevel10," he sweetly captioned the post. Dr Siyabulela Fobosi is certainly serving education goals.
Many curious social media users took to the comments section inquiring about where they might read the graduate's latest dissertation, which he kindly shared was available on the university website.
