Team:WITS-South Africa/Langelihle Ntloko

Biography- Langelihle “Caleb” Ntloko Langelihle (or Caleb/Langa as some may know him) has been an all-rounder for most of his life. He shares a passion for Science, sport and ministry. He obtained his B. Sc degree from Witwatersrand University in R.S.A and is currently completing his honours degree at the same institution. Langelihle is part of the Wits-R.S.A team that is to compete at this year’s competition in Boston Massachusetts. He is a sports fanatic; he participated in rugby, cricket and athletics in High School and obtained provincial colours in all 3 disciplines. Sport has taken a back-seat in his life now and only plays for the Wits Engineers Rugby team (they are the defending champions). He is a Christian with impeccable qualities and as his nick-name (Caleb) suggests; he shows a positive outlook on life and places his current successes on God and his faithfulness. His love for ministry has led him to lead his churches’ diocese camp CTK worship team where he plays lead guitar. His hobbies apart from sport and music are fooling around in laboratory with his mates’ bac-and-teria; collecting contemporary gospel music (i.e. hillsongs). Science has always intrigued him and being part of this IGEM competition has become an exciting adventure for him. As young as he is (or isn’t), he shows great promise and is confident that the Wits-RSA team will do extremely well in the competition and will prove to be a stepping stone for each of the team members in their respective fields. Oh, did I mention he’s handsome... single and ready to mingle- with promising bacteria loving ladies. If you read this and you’re a woman who fits the profile; Drop me an email...
