Featured PGDip testimonial
At 36, I realised that relying solely on my music career might not sustain me in the long run. Without a degree or formal work experience, I felt uncertain about my future. Determined to change my path, I enrolled at Henley Business School Africa. The transition was challenging; I often found myself out of my depth, unfamiliar with terms like ‘HR’ and ‘balance sheets.’ However, I persevered, completed my PGDip, and gained the confidence to pursue an MBA. While studying, I volunteered at TBN Africa as a presenter and producer, eventually becoming Channel Director. Three years later, I joined the SABC, leading some of the country’s major radio stations. This journey taught me that it’s never too late to start over, learn, or embrace new opportunities. Stepping into the unknown can lead to remarkable growth.'
