5B WOMEN WHO MOVE US - DR NOMHLE NGWENYA

Dr Nomhle Ngwenya became the youngest person to earn a PhD in Wits University’s Faculty of Science, completing it at 25. She also became the first Black woman at Wits to progress directly from an honours degree into a PhD. Today, as CEO of the Science, Technology and Innovation Business Forum, she works at the intersection of science, business, academia and government. The interview should not be a CV walk-through. The central question is: What happens after you become the first?
