Dr Mosadi Mahoko named her mother, the late Professor Sophie Mahoko, former dean of the School of Health Sciences at the University of Venda, as her role model.

Cape Town – Dr Mosadi Mahoko, a registrar in the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Stellenbosch University, has won the coveted Jack Penn medal for the best result in South Africa for the 2019 final plastic surgery exams.

In his letter, the honorary registrar at the College of Medicines in South Africa , Professor Victor Mngomezulu, said it is customary for medals to be presented at an admission ceremony of the CMSA, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic the 2020 CMSA admission ceremonies were cancelled. She named, as her role model, her mother, the late Professor Sophie Mahoko, former dean of the School of Health Sciences at the University of Venda.
