The Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) wish to announce, with deep shock and sorrow, the passing of Professor Mochichi Samuel Mokgokong on Wednesday, 24 January 2024.
Professor Mokgokong was the President of the HPCSA from 2011 until 2015 when his term of office ended. As a country we are blessed to live in a nation that has been shaped by the will, the leadership and vision of Professor Mokgokong. He was well known for heading the team responsible for separations of craniopagus conjoined twins and has trained and mentored more than 20 neurosurgeons.
The sudden loss of our leader, colleague and friend, is devastating. His inspiring leadership enabled all of us to fulfill our role in improving public health, especially for the most affected people.
We extend our deepest and most sincere condolences to Professor Mokgokong’s family. May his soul rest in peace.
Yours sincerely
Professor Simon Nemutandani
HPCSA President
