Yesterday she told Sowetan that through her PhD she wanted to inspire her grandchildren and young people in general.
“I am happy to have achieved this but I want to convey that happiness to inspire the entire country. I want young people to ask themselves a question: if I get a PhD at 65, what is holding them back? Also, I did my PhD at Venda because I wanted to encourage people to love and be proud of their ethnic languages. “
The Vuwani en Venda actress Limpopo said she was inspired to pursue her PhD after hearing the story of a 70-year-old Eastern Cape woman who was a PhD candidate.
“I don’t remember the year, I was listening to SAFM when I was leaving a funeral. When I was listening to the woman’s story, I realized that age doesn’t really count. At that time I was doing my master’s degree. I decided to submit a proposal in 2015 and it was accepted ”.

“In my research I collected around seven drama books. In those dramas they portrayed women as brainless and without intelligence. In some books I realized that women were considered symbols that deserved to be punished for nonsense like not cooking on time.

“Young people have turned the word freedom upside down. When Mandela was released, he stressed the need to take education seriously because he wanted the country to be run by people who had knowledge. They (the youth) want everything for free, ”said Nesengani.
