Andile Booe decided to not pursue a tertiary education in order to work towards his dream
A normal guy who believes that you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
KwaThema – Andile Booe, a young man from Phomolo Section, strived to make a better living for himself although his background didn’t count in his favour.
He was raised by his grandparents while his mother looked for a job and worked to help the family get through the day.
He has always been an entrepreneur at heart.
“I used to sell snacks and Cool Time at school just to put food on the table.”
Because of his interest in entrepreneurship, he enrolled with Ergo Business Development Academy (EBDA) and joined the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) to learn more about business and sharpen his skills.
Andile could not pursue a tertiary education although he was among the high achievers in his school.
His pursuit has always been to start his own company.
