These are SA celebrities who don’t have matric

Decades ago it was believed that education is the only way to success changing people’s lives from poverty to prosperity. However, this statement nowadays is now invalid considering the fact that many educated people are unemployed and still continue living in poverty. Street smart and talented people are living lavishly while book smart people continue to skyrocket the unemployment rate statistics.

However as everyone goes out to complete their matric so that they can go to the tertiary institutions to further their education, the celebrities below failed their matric.

These South African Celebrities don’t have Matric certificates to their names but are living a life millions of graduates can only dream of.

Somizi Mhlongo

Everything he touches turns into gold, this is the best way to describe the King of Entertainment and the face of South Africa Somizi Mhlongo. It is without a doubt that he is one of the richest celebrities in South Africa today with a stunning net worth of USD 5million. Managing a business empire that Somizi has requires book and street smartness, Somgaga proved beyond doubt that despite failing matric he is the King of his Art.

Cassper Nyovest

Cassper Nyovest whose real name Refiloe Phoolo needs no introduction in African entertainment and has amassed vast wealth to his name over the years. Valued at $5.5 million Cassper affords everything that money can buy. He has cars that even a South African doctor can’t even afford to buy, despite dropping out of school at just 16 years when he failed his grade 10. After mastering the art of thinking in other terms, Cassper Nyovest never looked back, today he has business interests in Real Estate, Entertainment, Retail, and Sport.

Kwesta

Rapper and music producer Kwesta dropped out of high school to go and pursue his music carrier at just 16 years old. The spirit hitmaker exchanged books for the mic, a decision he does not regret despite facing many challenges in the early days of his career.

Zodwa Wabantu

Controversial entertainer Zodwa WaBantu turned to a recognized businesswoman despite not having a matric certificate. Zodwa proved that a certificate doesn’t define one’s life as she had to face the wrath of life at a tender age. She introduced a perfume range and recently thriving chicken and eggs business to her name proving that she is the top dog of the game “izinja ze game”. Zodwa’s mom passed away when she was just a teenager and had to go and stay with her grandmother where she had to be street smart at a very young age.
