Over the festive period Alan Kasujja has been exploring this subject with people who have gone on to do amazing things in their lives.

Today’s guest is the Right Reverend Dr Vicentia Kgabe, the Anglican Bishop of the Diocese of Lesotho.

She grew up in Soweto in Johannesburg when there were no female priests but she says she knew from an early age knew that she wanted to become a priest. Her ambition caused some consternation within her family, a priest dismissed the idea and said she should focus on her education.

So how did she manage to plot her path to go from a priest, to the head of a training college for clergy and finally to a position of leadership in the Anglican church when so many people told her it was impossible?
