Future forensic scientist Voloshni Annamallay made history on Monday when she became the University of KwaZulu-Natal's first hearing-impaired graduate.

Future forensic scientist Voloshni Annamallay made history on Monday when she became the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s first deaf graduate.

Her achievement makes her the first person to acquire undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications at UKZN using SA sign language as a means of communication. “I thought she’d fall by the wayside, but as she got older she became more and more academically inclined. She never failed a year at school. She showed me she’d do well but I never realised she’d be the great woman she has become.”

A passion to help seek justice for victims of crime led Annamallay to enrol in criminology studies, and she described her learning experience as overwhelming and daunting.
