Plans for further studies

Proverb obtained his bachelor of business administration in 2024.

He previously spoke about his intention to pursue a doctoral qualification.

“My dad is a medical doctor and my mom was an academic doctor. She was a professor at the University of the North West. Academia was not something I initially took to naturally. I first wanted to be an entertainer, which I still am,” he said.

His return to academia, he said, was driven by a personal ambition.

“I always had this bug and this itch that I had to go and scratch. So I revisited it, and I’m currently completing my master’s now, hoping to pursue my doctorate so that I can also get the Dr title on the strap.”

He added that his studies honour his family while also fulfilling his own goals.

“On the one hand, absolutely, it is to pay homage and respect to my family, but also personal pursuits and personal aspirations that I have for myself, just to see how far I can take it,” he added.
