Redesigning resilience: Bonginkosi Ndaba’s journey through hearing loss, engineering, and empowered advocacy
When you meet Mr Bonginkosi Ndaba, you meet more than just a graduate; you meet resilience personified.
Crossing the stage to receive his Advanced Diploma in Industrial Engineering, Mr Ndaba carries with him not just a qualification but a powerful story of perseverance, self-advocacy, and quiet strength. Living with hearing loss, Bonginkosi has had to navigate an academic environment that isn’t always designed with inclusivity. Yet, he has never allowed that to define or limit him.
Born with a love for problem-solving and a passion for refining systems, Mr Ndaba chose industrial engineering not just for its logic and innovation but to prove something more profound: that people living with disabilities can thrive in complex, technical environments.
