Dr Irvin Khoza, known as the “Iron Duke”, was born on 27 January 1948 in Alexandra Township. He began his education at the Roma Mission School in Alexandra before attending Orlando High in Soweto.  He was a student at Fort Hare University (Alice, Eastern Cape) but did not complete his studies as he was allegedly expelled for anti-apartheid activities.
