The renowned Television personality Oprah Winfrey on her social media Instagaram account celebrates the graduation of one of her “daughter-girls” from her school in South Africa earned her doctor of medicine from Stanford University.
The South African student Bongeka Zuma graduated at Stanford earning a doctorate of medicine degree. Her journey started at Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy in South Africa, proceeded to Spelman University where she triumphed with summa cum laude and later with master’s degree at Oxford before heading to Stanford.

“I’ve been to 22 graduations for all my daughter-girls who came from the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy in South Africa to colleges and universities across the United States. This one was extra special. Daughter-girl Bongeka first graduated summa cum laude at Spelman, then she got her master’s degree at Oxford, and this weekend she received her hard-earned Doctor of Medicine from Stanford University.
One of the great joys of my life was to see her walk across that stage! Knowing where she’s come from, a small community in KwaZulu-Natal, and how strongly she believed in becoming a doctor. She never gave up, and with a support team of good friends, fellow OWLAG sisters and professors, we all celebrated her achievement with great pride. Congratulations, Dr. Zuma. Well done! Well done!”
