On the beat as a policeman Const Lindokuhle Ngcobo has seen injustice on the streets.
In his research as a doctoral student Ngcobo, of Pholela in KwaZulu-Natal, has also seen it in the data exposing how women with disabilities were pushed further into poverty and discrimination during the Covid-19 pandemic.
While still working as a policeman, Ngcobo studied for a PhD in Policy and Development studies and was awarded his doctorate by the University of KwaZulu-Natal UKZN on Friday.
