Mbewe of Mkhuhlu, in Bushbuckridge, Mpumalanga, says she had always wanted to be a nurse and does not regret her choice one bit.

She works at Rob Ferreira Hospital in Mbombela, Mpumalanga.

"I started working as a pharmacists assistant at Matikwane Hospital in Mkhuhlu, though I always loved nursing.
