But her determination eventually paid as Naledi would later discover that she left South Africa with an extra thing called courage.
She said:
"My fears were strong. Heading to a foreign continent, where I have no family. I kept telling myself, "I am still young, what if I fail, what if I am not good enough."...... Coming from the most disadvantaged province (Limpopo) in South Africa, "how will I compete in the world."
"Our self-limiting beliefs, hold us back from realising our true capabilities.
"I realise now that I had more than just bags, I had 'COURAGE'."
