Serara Selelo-Mogwe
Serara Segarona Selelo-Mogwe (1927 – September 2, 2020), also known as Serara Kupe-Mogwe, was a pioneering nurse and academic in Botswana. After serving as the country's first black, female chief nursing officer, she became the first Motswana woman to earn a doctorate and become a professor. Early life and education Serara Selelo was born in 1927 in Bobonong, a town in Botswana's Central District. She was the oldest child of Phofuetsile Selelo and Mokgadi Selelo. During her childhood years, secondary education was difficult to come by in her home region, so she traveled to the Tiger Kloof Educational Institute in South Africa for high school. Then, in the 1940s, she went to study at McCord Zulu Hospital, where she earned a diploma in nursing and midwifery.{{Cite web, date=2020-10-06, title=Serara-Selelo Mogwe, url=http://therepublican.co.bw/?p=247, access-date=2021-03-08, website=The Republican, language=en-US Career Though she did not have formal teaching qualifications, ...
