Dr Sandile Kubheka, the former 2012/2013 Medical School SRC member, added to what is becoming a long list of accolades, when he recently won ANN7’s Young South African of the Year award.

The prestigious awards ceremony was held at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg on Saturday, 6 September 2014 and was attended by South African stars in sports, entertainment, politics and business, to celebrate the achievements and contributions of extraordinary South Africans.

Kubheka, South Africa’s youngest doctor who works at Grey’s Hospital in Pietermaritzburg, indicated that he was humbled after winning the award. He told The Witness newspaper that he was shocked and surprised when his name was called and that he was extremely excited by the honour. 

Kubheka has been acknowledged by his very own university, the University of KwaZulu-Natal, for his leadership as a Student Representative Council member during the prestigious ceremony celebrating 10 Years of Student Leadership and Academic Achievement Excellence at UKZN.

He is no stranger to claiming high accolades. He has won the KwaZulu-Natal Young Achiever of the Year and Best in Health Award at the Future Leaders Youth Awards. He was also nominated for the MTV Base Leadership Award earlier this year.
