From a Gardener to Professional Banker and Entrepreneurship Consultant, is how I would summarize the professional development journey of Mr Joseph Leleki Monnakgotla. A child whose parents divorced when he was seven years old, and plunged him into poverty, resolved to become a gardener. The motive was to find escape route to education and professional career development. He indeed came into contact with a good “Samaritan” in the form of his boss, a certain Mr Russel Thomason, in Randburg. He was a British professional immigrant who was a lecturer at one of the colleges in Johannesburg. He did not only employ Joseph. He became a father he never. By the time when Mr Thomason emigrated to Australia he had laid the foundation for Joseph’s Journey. The rest is history. The story is a thriller, source of inspiration and encouragement. Listen to it and be educated.
