Cape Town, September 13 -- Durbanite Robyn Swannack has made history as the first deaf student to be accepted to the University of Cape Town.

She chose UCT over two other universities, as it was the only institution offering sign language interpretation.

Swannack and her interpreter, Lesego Modutle, say they are committed to the cause of equal education and to making signing an official language in South Africa.
