Luyanda Hlongwa - My journey to immunology
Valuing our Stories - As a Faculty, we have embarked on a journey to value the stories of our community. Our shared story is a mosaic of multiple journeys – punctuated by stories of success and failure, of courage and fearfulness, of change and challenge, of pain and prejudice, of growth and revival, of sadness and renewal. It is a story of promise and possibility, crystallised by the First Nations people who first inhabited this sacred land on which the Faculty is built, and named it |gamirodi !khaes or ‘Place of the Stars’. A place where the stars continue to illuminate our work and our community. Luyanda Hlongwa, born and raised in Pietermaritzburg, in a small village called KwaQanda, tells us of his journey in the field of immunology.
