Kgadi “The Possibilitarian” Mmanakana together with the gr 12 learners of Westenburg Secondary School.
POLOKWANE – Gr 12 learners from Westenburg High School were blessed with a motivation talk session from 21-year-old, Kgadi Mmanakana “The Possibilitarian” from Ga-Matlala, Garamalapa, who says that change is possible and necessary for growth.
Mmanaka says that she had no direction of what she wants to do with her life when she was still in high school, confused by the many issues, personal, that she has faced in her that she felt compelled to take it upon herself to be the help that she needed to other people.
“Being a motivational speaker fulfils me and affords me an opportunity to help and inspire other people and help them realise that change and a better life is possible,” she said.
