A journey towards a master's in artisanal mining at the University of Cape Town turned into a PhD for 28-year-old student Rebecca-Lee Pein. | CannyMaphanga GoodNews24

Rebecca-Lee Pein was shocked to see her masters on artisanal mining turn into a PhD.

"I wrote a master's, and I just kept adding to it, and my supervisor said to me you have written a PhD. It's long enough, and I think you should upgrade. At first, I was quite shocked to see my little masters had turned into a PhD," Pein told News24 on Thursday. "I'm at a bit of a crossroads because I really enjoy academia. Perhaps I can lecture one day. That is on the cards for me if I can make it happen. I [also] hope I can continue to work in the mining sphere," she said.
