Ayanda Thabethe explained why she made her MBA journey public to inspire her followers and to motivate herself.

Ayanda Thebethe revealed why she took longer to complete her MBA which normally takes two and a half years to complete. She credited her support system and the team at Henley Business School for her success.

“A typical Henley Executive MBA takes around two and a half years, mine took four so that in between I could welcome two beautiful children into the world, and with every pause, every return, came with its own mountain to climb. But with determination and the best support system both personally and from @henleyafrica, I never lost sight of why I started,” Ayanda Thabethe added.

Ayanda revealed that she passed her MBA thesis with a distinction and thanked God for seeing her through. Thebethe hoped that her academic milestone would inspire others.

“To anyone standing at the beginning of something daunting — this is your sign. Start. And finish. Even if life interrupts you along the way,” she said.
