Undeterred, he pursued his dream at the University of KwaZulu Natal (UKZN), eventually qualifying as a medical doctor and carving a distinguished career in public health. \u201cTwenty years ago, I was a young man with a dream. Today, I stand here humbled, grateful, and ready to serve,\u201d he said, reflecting on his journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His story is a testament to perseverance and the pursuit of a higher purpose. \u201cI encourage you to dream, thrive and aspire,\u201d he told attendees. \u201cOne day, we will also honour you. This duty is not one I take lightly. I will not promise what I cannot deliver, but I am deeply humbled and committed to this responsibility.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his inaugural address, Moshabela outlined his vision for UCT, centred on inclusivity, academic excellence, and societal transformation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUCT is a beacon of knowledge and hope. My mission is to honour its legacy while forging new pathways for future generations in an ever-evolving world,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-celebrated-academic\">Celebrated academic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a Professor of Public Health, Moshabela brings a wealth of experience, having previously served as Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Research and Innovation at UKZN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has been celebrated for his contributions to public health, including improving access to healthcare in underserved communities and advancing research on HIV and TB. His accolades include the PHILA Annual Award from the Public Health Association of South Africa and a Ministerial Special Covid-19 Award for his science communication efforts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The installation ceremony highlighted the personal and professional journey that brought him to this milestone. \u201cI come from a family of strong women who have shaped my life profoundly,\u201d he shared. Cultural performances and speeches from university stakeholders underscored the optimism surrounding his appointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chancellor of UCT, Dr Precious Moloi-Motsepe, said: \u201cMoshabela\u2019s rise from a hopeful student to the leader is a story of unwavering belief in one\u2019s dreams. It signals a promising era for UCT, driven by a leader who has consistently demonstrated visionary leadership and a dedication to advancing higher education and societal development, we are proud of you\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As UCT welcomes this new chapter, the university community and beyond look forward to the transformative impact of Moshabela\u2019s tenure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prof Mosa Moshabela, celebrated for his contributions to public health, was officially installed as UCT\u2019s 11th Vice-Chancellor on 25
