Helping People Recover from Injuries is Fulfilling

Thandiwe Sopeng and Lintle Lebona are physiotherapists at Queen 'Mamohato Memorial Hospital. Their work primarily focuses on helping people regain mobility and rebuild their lives after serious injuries, including knife stabbings, burns, and stick-fighting incidents that often result in life-threatening head injuries. If there is one thing Sopeng and Lebona agree on, it is that physiotherapy is a highly rewarding and in-demand health profession. They are encouraging high school students to consider pursuing it as a career. Uncensored News Editor Pascalinah Kabi sat down with Sopeng and Lebona on 11 June 2026 to discuss their work, the challenges they face, and the impact physiotherapy has on patients' lives.
