9. • Vanessa Makhathi (Graduate 2010) I now make plans and stick to fulfilling them:
integrity. I’m organised and think on my feet when under pressure. I appreciate the
person I am.
• Neo Nakedi (Graduate 2011) I’ve learnt that with power comes great
responsibility and talking about things helps. I now meet deadlines and minimize
excuses.
• Talent Sibanda (Graduate 2012) I have great potential that I have not made use of
but I could go far if I did. I used to pretend to be confident but after facing my fears
I have discovered that I am smart, confident, adventurous, keen and success driven.
• Kanzita Leya (Graduate 2013) I have already realized that I should learn to own up
to my actions and that change can only begin with me. My attitude to the little
things that I take for granted is what has turned into a habit which is affecting my
performance.
• Shekinah Molema (Graduate 2013) I have realized that life is too short for negative
people; my foundation should be my values. It’s not only about being a leader on
the outside but one on the inside as well.
