In the fourth national HIV survey she coordinated field work which entailed recruiting and training field staff (data collectors, editors and supervisors), overseeing data and specimen collection. She served as the co-Project Director in the Marang Men’s Project which was an HIV bio- behavioural survey that was conducted among MSM.

Parallel to these research projects, Ms. Yoliswa Ntsepe enrolled for the PhD in Anthropology in 2011 and submitted the thesis in November 2014.
