Muvhango's Regina Nesengani conferred with a PhD degree

Muvhango actress Regina Nesengani, popularly known as Vho-Masindi in the SABC 2 soapie, was recently conferred with a PhD degree by the University of South Africa (Unisa). Her thesis, written in TshiVenda, was about women abuse through dialogue on drama books written by male writers, and her topic was inspired by the prevalence of gender-based violence (GBV) in her community while she was still studying for her masters.

The 65-year-old says she got the inspiration to study a PhD after listening to an interview of an old lady on SAFM who had just graduated with a PhD. SABC and Muvhango producers, Word of Mouth Pictures, will celebrate this milestone with a graduation celebration party, with details yet to be announced.
