Dr Nokukhanya Ngubane-Mwandla decided she wanted to be a paediatrician in high school. She found a way to turn this dream into a reality, and the 34-year-old is now sub-specialising to help children with kidney conditions.
Ngubane-Mwandla was born in Empangeni, KwaZulu-Natal, on Christmas Eve in 1985. Her mother is a teacher and her father a chief magistrate. After studying medicine at the University of Pretoria and qualifying as a doctor in 2009, she completed her studies at the Wits University and became a paediatrician.
