#DistinguishedAlumniAwards | For his outstanding contribution to social entrepreneurship and capacity building for scientific innovation, we are honouring Dr Solomzi Makohliso with a Distinguished Alumni Award.
Dr Solomizi Makohliso earned his Bachelor of Science degree at Rhodes University in the early 1980s, during the height of Apartheid. While pursuing his studies in the then-nascent field of computer science, he actively engaged in political activism. His time spent in the University's computer labs honed his academic skills and fostered friendships beyond the boundaries of the science faculty. Dr Makohliso attributes his dedication to using scientific methods for humanitarian purposes to these meaningful interactions and the relationships he built during this formative period.
