Zoleka Mandela Finally Graduates After 17 Years!

Zoleka Mandela is graduating from university after 17 years. Yup you heard right… 17 years!

Zoleka first enrolled at the University of South Arica ( UNISA) in 2001, but her addiction to drugs, sex and alcohol – forced her to put her academic ambitions on the backburner until now.

Zoleka Mandela didn’t take the most direct road to getting a college degree. Unlike many other students, the mother of four underwent a difficult journey and fast forward to today after 17 years, she now holds a BA in Psychology

The granddaughter of the late Iconic hero, Nelson Mandela celebrated her graduation on March 2018 with her family and close friends.

She walked on stage after her name was called with so much pride and confidence as she was ecstatic that she finally got to don a graduation hat and gown.
