Dlamini was founder and executive chairperson of the Mbekani Group, chancellor of the university of Witwatersrand, a medical doctor, and author.
The University of KwaZulu-Natal has awarded Dr Judy Dlamini, one of South Africa’s most successful entrepreneurs, an honorary doctorate in economics in recognition of her economic activism.
The university said Dlamini was capped Doctor of Economics at a ceremony on the UKZN Westville campus on Friday. “As a little girl I walked the streets of Westville to catch a bus to school or to the grocery store. More importantly, I remember going to then University of Durban-Westville with my half-sister uSis Phumzile. When my sister heard I had applied to medical school she advised me to also apply at Durban-Westville to do physiotherapy.
“Education is a liberator – the education of one person has the power to change outcomes in a village. Educated people who are successful make success accessible in unlikely neighbourhoods,” Dlamini said.
