Cape Town – Actress and TV presenter, Lerato Mvelase, has taken to Instagram to announce that she is heading back to school to finish her post-graduate diploma in business management at Regenesys Business School.
The actress said it took her ten years to finish her undergraduate degree in Communications as it wasn’t easy juggling motherhood, a career and studies at the same time, but she said she made it happen so that her children can be inspired.

“It wasn’t easy. I felt like dropping out a lot of times, but those little faces needed someone to look up to, needed an inspiration. I had to make sure that I’m that inspiration. I had to make sure I help them see the possibility of achieving in a world that says they can’t,” she said.

Lerato shared how she spent most of her life seeking validation from those around her and said she forgot to put herself first.
“Yes to choosing me and putting me first. I spent most of my life and mostly my 30s wanting people to like me, to see me, to hear me and letting everybody in,” she wrote.

She said everyone’s story is different and that people shouldn’t compare their journey to the next person.
“Moral of the story, never compare your situation to others for your circumstances are very different,” she said.
Lerato is a mother to two children with fellow actor Siyabonga Radebe.
