ROLE MODEL NO SHORTCUTS ON HIS JOURNEY TO THE TOP

It took Maema Mmonwa 14 years to get a good job after finishing matric in the early 1990s. He grew up in Kanana, a small village near Polokwane in Limpopo.
 
In 1993, Mmonwa passed matric with university exemption, but had no money to continue his studies. He found himself at home herding his father's cattle. 
 
"It was the most frustrating time of my life. Here I was, 17 years old having passed matric with good symbols and yet I was herding cattle," he said.
