Sonto Gugu Madonsela

I am a fourth-year PhD student at Wits University, Johannesburg and work as a research assistant at the Health Communication Research Unit. My doctoral research focuses on adolescent mental health, specifically titled ‘mHealth Services for Adolescent Mental Health: A Focus on Soweto.’ This study examines how technology can be utilised to provide mental health services to adolescents.

My research interests include health communication, mental health, and migration. Before starting my PhD, I worked as a research assistant and sessional lecturer in the School of Human and Community Development at Wits University. I have actively participated in collaborative multidisciplinary projects, including research on African migration and health communication in various contexts.
