The student, Lebo Rampedi, was definitely inspired by the words of his father that proved helpful during his varsity days. He's thanked his dad for instilling in him a kingly mindset.
In the images shared, the two stand arm-in-arm and both beam with pride at Rampedi's achievement.
He captioned the heartfelt post:
"Before my first day of lectures my father sent me a message saying “To be a king one must work like a slave”. I am proud to say I’ve taken the first step to becoming a king by completing my Bcom Economics degree at the University of Pretoria."-Lebo Rampedi
Social media reactions
The online community has commended the young man for heading his father's words so closely, congratulating his recent success. Still, not all agree with his suggested 'slave' mentality.
