“I have so much respect for you, ProVerb. I remember you saying on the King David show how determined you were to pursue your studies. You did it!! Congratulations man. 🤍✨🎉”

@AsaManoo claimed:

“@Regenesys_edu is a fly-by-night institution; their qualifications don’t carry any weight.”

@kwenasekwele alleged:

“Ke pass all at that institution, even Julius Mkhwanazi passed with flying colours, I used to rate them high, but after Mkhwanazi’s testimony mmmmh.”

@Researcher_ZA remarked:

“Congratulations, my good sir 👏🏽🎓 An MBA isn’t completed in the lecture room ~ it’s completed in the revision cycles where literature gaps are exposed, arguments are deconstructed, methodology is stress-tested, and supervisors push for conceptual precision. Much respect to you.”

@TheRealMakoro quoted:

“I grew up an underachiever. And everybody was a non-believer. Never believing I would grow up to be someone, either. Even some of my previous teachers never took one serious. Said I was mischievous. Dumb and devious. But deep down there was a genius.”
