Fighting a losing battle against glaucoma

But, as fate would have it, Mogokgwane who on a casual look appears as fit as a fiddle, has unfortunately been battling against glaucoma that is threatening to cut his career short and possibly render him completely blind. Amongst many other things, he can no longer drive his car.

For the past nine years, Mogokgwane has been fighting glaucoma with everything at his disposal, but to date, it seems the winner is glaucoma. Worse, the Mogokgwane family has been seriously at war with glaucoma as both his parents (now deceased) were victims of the eye disease. Four out of seven of his siblings inherited the disease that causes blindness from their parents. Now it’s Dikgang, a father of two, who is also married.
