On Wednesday, 6 September, Moeketsi Mosola, City of Tshwane manager, graduated at the University of Pretoria with a PhD in Human Movement Sciences.

'I am extremely proud to have completed this qualification with the University of Pretoria as this is the first tertiary qualification that I have obtained in my own country,' said Mosola who was the first person in his family to graduate from high school and university. Mosola has worked in both the private and public sectors. His academic achievements include an MA in Economics from the University of Houston, Texas (USA), and a BA in Neuroscience and Psychology at Obedin College, Ohio (USA).

Mosola hopes to inspire his colleagues to further their studies so that they can better service their communities and to encourage Tshwane residents to study in their home city.
