Actress and television personality Lerato Mvelase has officially bagged her Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree.
The Lingashoni star shared the exciting news on social media, posting stunning pictures from her graduation ceremony, where she radiated joy and accomplishment.
“It is only the beginning. Regenesys Education, thank you for awakening my potential,” she captioned her post, reflecting on her inspiring academic journey.
Among those who celebrated with her was fellow media personality and rapper ProVerb, who also holds an MBA. Sharing a joint post, he praised Lerato for her determination and resilience throughout the demanding process.
“Huge congratulations to my sister Lerato Mvelase on completing her MBA and officially graduating this evening! What an incredible year it has been for you, filled with hard work, determination, and milestones that inspire us all,” he wrote.
He continued, “Your journey is a true reminder that perseverance pays off and that greatness is achieved one step at a time. Proud is an understatement, you are an inspiration to me, to our family, and to so many others who look up to you.”
Lerato’s educational pursuit has been a long but inspiring journey.
When she first embarked on her studies, she admitted it wouldn’t be easy but encouraged her followers to stay focused on their dreams.
“Whatever it is you are trying to achieve, hold on and take it one day at a time. I’m looking forward to this phase of my life,” she previously shared, expressing gratitude to her lecturers for their support.
The actress, who revealed in 2022 that she was pursuing a postgraduate diploma in business management after completing her communications degree, has often been open about the challenges she faced as a working mother and student.
“It took me 10 years to finish my communications degree, while everyone I started with finished in record time,” she once reflected.
“At that time, I was raising my kids, breastfeeding, and working. It wasn’t easy; I felt like dropping out a lot of times, but those little faces needed someone to look up to. I had to make sure I’m that inspiration and help them see the possibility of achieving in a world that says they can’t.”
