I got an opportunity to be an office cleaner at a company in Mbombela. Soon after my office work, I got an offer to work with the Cancer Association of South Africa and became one of the youngest African female provincial managers overseeing the Mpumalanga province,” she said.
“I was even offered an opportunity by Duke University to complete a Medical Neuroscience course, and a Diploma in Sports Medicine with the FIFA Medical Network. Online learning became a key focus area for me. I could still do research and offer support where needed. I also hold qualifications in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and an Honorary Doctorate from one of the universities in the UK,” said Dr Mogane.
