Golden Key is the world’s largest collegiate honour society. Membership into the society is by invitation only and applies to the top 15% of colleges and universities, as well as top-performing graduate students in all fields of study.
In the video, she “introduces” her latest academic prize, in the form of a gold medal, to the rest of her certificates.
She shared that getting her MBA was one of the toughest things she’s done in her life, and that it took discipline and dedication to get through it.
Langa adds that because of her good grades at school, she received a scholarship to further her studies.
However, due to the challenges of being a first-year varsity student, she failed all her subjects and lost her scholarship.
She then had to fund her own studies by working as a bartender at night and working in retail on weekends as well as being a stylist on the side.
Langa goes into how she managed to get her degrees regardless of all the challenges she faced.
She highlights how expensive it is to study for your MBA saying that it costs about R700,000.
