She left the farm to attend school in Rammolutsi in 1984 and gained her matric. She then worked piece jobs on neighbouring farms and was able to attend a college where she received a teaching certificate. Her father (who left the farm and became a driver for the municipality in Rammolutsi) died several years ago. She cares for her asthmatic mother and her brother’s children and lives in her self-built brick house.
