Bukhosi needs your help!
Dr Bukhosi MtukusheDr Bukhosi Mtukushe had recently graduated with a medical degree from the University of Cape Town (UCT) when he was diagnosed with lymphoma, an insidious cancer that attacks blood platelets and lymph nodes.

After the initial shock at the news, Bukhosi began the process of trying to get his body back into health by admitting at the UCT private hospital for a course of chemotherapy in December 2006, a month after the diagnosis.

So talented and passionate about his rap-writing, that he was about to record his first song in a studio during the school holidays. Tlhogi also loves school, but only when he is healthy enough to attend school. He completed the first term of Grade 8 in 2006, and is trying again this year to complete the grade, a milestone in a young life where every day is an important milestone.
