The young man has displayed nothing but dedication and persistence to reach his goals.

North-West University bachelor of commerce graduate Letlhogonolo Mafela, who was born without arms, says he is not disabled but different – and does things differently.

“I can’t say I’m disabled because I don’t know how it is to have arms. My mouth and feet serve that purpose superbly. I can do anything for myself and nothing will stop me from doing what I want,” he said, after graduating with a BCom in economics. “I am on my way to the top but I need to start at the bottom. The immediate mission is to find a job and then study further to build my dream,” Mafela said.

The North West department of education presented him with a merit award and a laptop computer for his extraordinary achievement.
