IOL notes that Tivana has always been a brilliant young woman and obtained eight distinctions from Tongaat Secondary School, which enabled her to study medicine at university.

The young lady undertakes many leadership roles, including being the chairperson of the South African Medical Students Association, is part of the Golden Key International Honor Society, and is the vice-chairperson of the Dean’s Clinical Medicine research team. How incredible!
