Dr Koenane

Dr Mojalefa Lehlohonolo Johannes Koenane, who recently received his Ph.D. at the University of the Free State (UFS), has been honoured with a Golden Key Academic Award by the Golden Key International Honour Society for his hard work in the field of Governance and Political Transformation. He was recognised for his sterling work in his Ph.D. thesis. “It is not through luck that I have achieved the award, it is by working hard and setting my priorities right,” he said.

This internationally recognised award includes a certificate of recognition, a Golden Key lapel and a substantial amount of money in scholarship. He will receive the award at a ceremony that will be held at the UFS on 15 August 2010.

Dr Koenane is currently a lecturer at the University of Zululand. The Programme Governance and Transformation is offered in the Faculty of the Humanities at the UFS.

The Golden Key International Honour Society is a body based in the United States of America (USA) that recognises individuals who excel in their studies in seven countries, namely: the USA, Canada, India, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
