Regina Nesengani, who plays the part of vho-Masindi, Chief Azwindini’s mother, in the popular SABC 2 drama Muvhango, was conferred with a PhD degree recently. The actress was awarded the accomplishment by the University of South Africa, (UNISA).
The 65-year-old actress is living proof that one is never too old to pursue their dreams. The doctorate degree is in languages, linguistics and literature.
Muvhango took to social media to make the announcement on their official account, adding:
"Her doctoral dissertation was on gender-based violence and it was written in her native TshiVenda language. SABC and Word of Mouth Pictures are planning a massive celebration on Wednesday, December 9 to pay homage to vho-Masindi for her momentous and historic achievement."
The Daily Sun reports that the actress' 235-word thesis was written in Venda and deals with the portrayal of woman abuse. The newly-graduated doctor wrote the thesis by hand and had asked someone to type it up for her.
