At an age when many slow down, 70-year-old Mantoa Mabel Mphambo has achieved something remarkable, earning a Bachelor of Divinity after a long and painful journey marked by illness, loss, and renewal.
Her story is not just about a qualification from the University of the Free State UFS. It is about faith, resilience and starting over when life takes an unexpected turn.
Mphambo admits the moment still does not feel real. Its still a surprise to me, I dont believe that Im done with the degree based on my experiences, she said.
