Who is Pieter M Botha?

Pieter was born in the small town of Carolina, Mpumalanga where he was raised on a farm.  Here he discovered his intense love for nature, farm animals, wild animals and the countryside in all its beauty.  On the farm, he also learned skills such as working with heavy machinery, soldering and welding. From a very young age, he became aware of a certain inherent restlessness to acquire more and more knowledge about how and why things in general, work.

Na skool het hy sy militêre diensplig as offisier en instrukteur by die Pantserkorps voltooi, waarna hy gekwalifiseer het as Mediese Ortoïs en Prostetikus by die hedendaagse TUT. Pieter word erken as die eerste Mediese Ortoïs en Prostetikus in Suid Afrika wat homself op spesifieke navorsing in sy spesialiteitsrigting toegespits het en is ook die eerste met 'n nagraadse kwalifikasie op hierdie gebied in Suid Afrika.

Research and Postgraduate Study

Pieter M Botha's amputee patients, Joseph van der Linde practicingHis research, which was undertaken at the world renowned University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, lead him to discover the importance of prosthetic weight for vascular amputees.  As a matter of interest, one of his patients broke the world record for the 100m for transtibial amputees. 

Behalwe vir 'n verdere kwalifikasie en wel in Biomeganika, het hy sy Meestersgraad by bogenoemde Universteit verwerf. Hy het 'n besondere belangstelling in Plantare fassiitis - een van die mees algemene voetprobleme. Daar is in 80% van hierdie gevalle, 'n genetiese komponent teenwoordig en dit is juis hierdie interessante “verborgenheid” wat die studie en navorsing besonder stimulerend maak.
