A young South African dental surgeon, Dr. Ncumisa Mdlocolo, has tragically passed away just days after expressing her extreme exhaustion on social media.
Dr. Mdlocolo, who fulfilled her dream of becoming a doctor in December 2020, had shared her struggles with fatigue in a tweet on January 28, 2025.
“I’m so exhausted. Feels like I’m going to pass away, but I also want to read. Ndithini?” she wrote.
A concerned friend advised her to rest, to which she responded, “Ewe, I’m exhausted.”
Sadly, just four days later, on February 1, 2025, she was confirmed dead.
