Physicist Alfred Z. Msezane was born on December 31, 1938 in South Africa. His father, Albert, was a businessman and his mother, Esther, a housewife. Msezane enrolled in the University of South Africa in 1960 where he studied the shape and behavior of the fundamental particle, the electron. Msezane graduated from the University of South Africa in 1964 with his B.S. degree in physics. He received his Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of Western Ontario in 1973. In 1988, Atlanta University merged with Clark University to become Clark Atlanta University, and Msezane remained a professor of physics.
