Successful local celebs who don’t have matric or a degree

But, having said that, there are many people in this world who don’t have the greatest education and have still managed to make a success of their life – sometimes even better than those who have top-notch degrees to their names.
What’s the ‘secret’ of their success without an education?
To be honest, I don’t think there’s any big secret. It’s a mixture of luck or destiny, knowing the right people in the ‘right’ place and at the right time, and lots of hard work and steely determination. The hunger for a better life is a very, very good motivator.
