Another Family’s Graduation Triumph
The Madaza Family Celebrates Together
In a similar story of academic achievement, the Madaza family celebrated their youngest member’s graduation at the University of Cape Town (UCT). This wasn’t just any graduation; it was a celebration of a family legacy. Every member of the family, except for the youngest, had already earned at least one degree.
