Lady Who Wrote Her Exam While In Labour Ward, Passes With Flying Colors

A 23-year-old female graduate, Sithembile Mthembu, who wrote her examination in the labour ward has successfully passed with good results.

She revealed that she had no other option as she was funded by National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) and had to make sure she passed all modules in record time.

The 23-year-old gave birth to a healthy baby girl and graduated from the Durban University of Technology (DUT), a South African Varsity, last week.

“I had to push for my test before pushing for the baby out. I had no other option because I was funded by NSFAS and had to make sure I pass all my modules so I graduate in time. The doctors shouted at me, accusing me of stressing the baby but I continued. I wanted to make sure I excel in my exams,” said the 23-year-old.

It was also reported that the new mom plans to study up to PhD level.
