Story 2
27 year old Dr Owetu Zamisa, from Peddie in the Eastern Cape, has been awarded a Doctor of Philosophy in Agricultural Economics by the University of Fort Hare during the institution's 2026 Autumn Graduation this week.
Zamisa is the youngest PhD graduate this year after completing a decade-long academic journey at the University.
Her doctoral study explored how education, market access and cooperative structures can turn beekeeping into a sustainable commercial enterprise for rural communities.
The research places beekeeping at the center of remote economic transformation in the province, showing how an often-overlooked activity can become a meaningful income source for small-scale farmers.
