Meet – Dr Thakgalo Thibela, 24-year-old remarkable Medical Doctor, at age 21 she became the youngest female Medical Doctor in South Africa after obtaining a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery from Wits University.

She was born and raised in Violet Bank, a village in the small town of Bushbuckridge in Mpumalanga province.

She attended Farel Primary School where she was smart enough and skipped Grade 7, enrolled straight to Lehlasedi High School where she also did not do Grade 9.

Dr Thibela was promoted from Grade 6 to 8 and from Grade 8 to 10 due to her academic excellence and completed her matric with 7 distinctions at the age 15.

At age 16, she received a bursary from Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) and enrolled at the University of Witwatersrand, where she successfully graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBChB) in December 2020 at the age of 21.

She completed her Internship at Helen Joseph Hospital and her Community Service at Mapulaneng Hospital and intends on becoming a Neurosurgeon in the nearest future.

Sadly, Dr Thakgalo Thibela is currently unemployed, willing and ready to serve anywhere in South Africa.

“I happen to find myself as part of the 800+ unemployed doctors in South Africa currently. I am willing and ready to serve anywhere in the country but that opportunity is not being afforded to me. I became a doctor because I wanted to help people and not being able to do just that has been mentally taxing. Please help,” said Dr Thakgalo Thibela.

Join me in helping her get the opportunity she deserves ❤️💃🏾❤️. Copied from Sylvia Maseko - Founder, Health Excellence Organization.
