Retired principal proves doubters wrong by obtaining PhD in just 26 months

# Retired high school principal Alui Tshigabe has fulfilled a lifelong dream by obtaining a PhD in just 26-months, a feat many doubted he could achieve in such a short time. The 68-year-old obtained his PhD in Philosophy from the University of Venda. He says many people told him it would take four years to complete the PhD, but adds that he was determined to prove his doubters wrong. Tshigabe said he is now working on a book on wildlife at the Kruger National Park.
