Fani Titi biography

Investec CEO Fani Titi is unique since he does not know his exact date of birth. In an interview with 702's Bruce Whitfield, he said, 'I was born on a farm in the 60s at the height of Apartheid oppression.'
This, however, did not stop him from thinking of a clever and creative way of choosing his birthday. In his own words, he tells his story:
'My parents were not educated, so I adopted June 25, 1962. I love the number five, so I squared it to get 25. Then I squared 25 to get 625. That's where I got 62. So that's my birthday.'
Where did Fani Titi get his education?
The Mzansi mogul did not have an easy education life, especially since he grew up during the dark days of apartheid in South Africa. At the age of 12, he was about to drop out of school and become a labourer. 'At the age of 12, when I was in what is now grade six, I was supposed to go into the farm labour system permanently,' says Titi.
Fortunately, his family relocated to Qwa Qwa, where he was able to get on with his education. When asked about these turn of events, he said, 'That was a change in direction that changed my fate. Otherwise, I would still be on a farm, probably driving a tractor. I escaped a particular fate, but I took from the experience lessons that were imprinted on my mind. I hated poverty because I had lived in abject poverty.'
According to Fani Titi's LinkedIn, he currently has a BSc (cum laude) and a BSc (cum laude) in Mathematics from the University of Fort Hare. He also graduated from the University of California at Berkeley with an MA degree in Mathematics and is an alumnus of Wits Business School.
