Deaf student beats the odds to graduate with law degree from UCT – and he's not done yet | Health24com

Qobo Ningiza, who is deaf, has faced many obstacles in his life so far. But that has not deterred him – he is on the verge of being capped as South Africa’s first deaf Bachelor of Laws degree graduates at the University of Cape Town.

Coupled with that, learners were not able to choose subjects because of a shortage of teachers, and had to comply with a prescribed list. Ningiza recalls using public transport to travel the long distance to try and gain entry at a tertiary institution. He, and another student he had befriended, arrived at their destination, but the offices had already closed – so they spent the night sleeping next to a lamp post in the parking lot.
