Tebello Nyokong is one of the most distinguished scientists in Africa and is making huge strides with her laser-based alternative to regular chemotherapy. Nyokong made quite a journey for a woman who at eight years old, working as a shepherd when not at school, was told to pursue arts and humanities rather than science. Years later, at the Rhodes University she develops the groundbreaking “photodynamic therapy,” which involves “injecting photosensitive molecules into the heart of a tumour,” then exposing these molecules to laser radiation. This process causes a toxic chemical reaction with the oxygen in the cancer cells. Nyokong received numerous awards for her work and her role in the transformation of science in the country.
