Cheers All Around as Twins Graduate as Medical Doctors

BY: .

Pietermaritzburg twins, Drs Ziphozonke and Velenkosini Lamula made their families and the Westgate community proud as they graduated as Medical doctors from UKZN on 6 May.

The 25-year-olds said their achievement felt surreal. ‘It was a long six years of hard work and sleepless nights… but this journey has been really rewarding. All the hard work is finally paying off.’

They are currently serving their Medical internships at the Nelson Mandela Academic Hospital in the Eastern Cape, Mthatha.

While not yet certain which areas of specialisation they will get into, they are exploring their interests and enjoying the journey as Medical interns.

To unwind, they love watching television series and going out with friends.
