Unathi Nkayi has opened up about failing twice in her life. The media personality took to social media on Sunday, 21 February to offer a message of hope to matriculants ahead of the release of public school's matric results this Monday, 22 February.
The Idols SA judge revealed that she failed Grade 8 and her first year in university. The star captioned her Instagram video:
"#Guyzini Please share with those you’re concerned about."
The singer encouraged those who failed and those who are dissatisfied with their results to draw strength from her life story. She asked them not to give up on themselves.
"I had to learn that I’m just slower when it comes to academics and I needed more time."
The stunner shared that her dad made her go back to the same school she had failed Grade 8. At the time, she thought her old man was punishing her. Unathi said her father advised her:
"My child, if you start running now you'll never stop running."
