South Africa has lost an icon of the medical fraternity who is the first Neurosurgeon of African descent in South Africa. Professor Mokgokong’s accolades count among others, being co-lead of a 50-member team for a successful 18-hour operation to separate conjoined twins Mpho and Mphonyana who were joined at the head. Prof. Sam Mokgokong embodied selflessness, forsaking the trappings of private medical practice to instead serve in the interest of society by imparting his knowledge and skills with academia both locally and abroad to enhance the development of neuroscience for the benefit of all. South Africa and the Mokgokong family have lost a giant and pillar of society.

He is my mother’s youngest brother. There were 7 siblings, 5 of them have passed on. My mother’s maiden name was Prisca Mokgokong. Dr. Samuel Lekgetha Mokgokong was my mother’s firstborn. He was adopted by Uncle Eph. I was in South Africa for my brother’s funeral in February. We were all heartbroken, but Uncle Eph took his passing particularly hard. Love you, Uncle Eph ❤.

The grandpa is 100% correct. Every year our produces 100s of BEd and BA graduates who end up being jobless coz the economy needs certain qualifications for employment and economic growths. There was no other black SAn engineering graduate when i went for my unisa graduation in May in Cape Town, except me. But there are over 2 million black SAns in the western cape. To this day, im still haunted by that.

Academics watch on when mkhukhu's and drunkenness and drugs take over.....forgetting that these lifestyles will return to bite everyone .... educated or not. And the BEds and BAs and BAdmins are not useless.... they infact are essential factors when formulating education and formulating human settlements and land use..... but these processes are disturbed by "politicians" who continue to pride themselves in anc membership as the interviewee seems to come about. After all these years such people look back in regret .... but forgetting that they themselves never looked ahead during their journey of professionalism .... eg even watching on as politicians would send S African students to cuba for inferior medical degrees instead of developing local universities to offer qualifications that would not be found to be useless as alleged in this interview ... honestly instead of "first black so and so blah blah .." move it on ...

A wonderful interview, and what prof said: parents not knowing what their children do at school is is bad and is one of the reasons why kids lately lack motivation to do well. This actually reminds me of how my mother used to ask me what we did at school each day and would expect details. That form of "accountability" made me know I cannot just play around at school, and it's one of the reasons I went as far as I did with schooling and still looking to take a step further. It's always wonderful to hear from the giants like prof. Nice job bro Dave, always ever excellent 👌 .

Yes, a lot of students study BA psychology. But that sector is over saturated. It is so difficult to get a job in that sector. So after so much money, people end up with useless degrees. Maybe it would have been better if the technical colleges were still properly run. Then, some can still qualify as plumbers, etc. Can you believe SA has a shortage of plumbers? Even New Zealand is headhunting for plumbers in SA. The ANC government neglected the technical colleges.

What prof is not mentioning as the reason why his students did well academically is that firstly he had very good teachers recruited from all SA, Zim, Makerere etc secondly students were placed in very small subgroups of 8-10 students per tutor and were therefore very easy to manage and was easy to identify knowledge gaps per student Thirdly He made sure to provide essential nutrition for each and every student on campus during his reign and this was something he was personally passionate about, unfortunately the principal who came after him saw it differently
