From tying the knot to bagging degrees!
South African TV presenter and award-winning media personality, Ayanda Matsimbe (née Thabethe), recently celebrated graduating from the prestigious Henley Business School.
The mother of two, who started her Master of Business Administration (MBA) in 2021, celebrated her graduation on Friday, September 19.
She shared the exciting news and a peek at her beautiful graduation attire on social media.
“In London, on the 19th September, I walked the stage and graduated with my MBA from Henley Business School (University of Reading) and now I proudly join its circle of elite global business leaders. A monumental milestone and one for the books,” she captioned her post.
Congratulatory messages flooded her comment section from friends, family and fans, each revealing how proud they are of her for reaching this milestone.
Her sister, Lungile Thabethe, commented: “Sooo proud of you, my sissy! You are set apart! The best role model.”
Model and Miss SA 2020, Shudufhadzo Musida, said: “Congratulations, queen.”
Actress and DJ Thuli Phongolo added: “Yeah! SHE did THAT! So proud of you, mama!”
In another post, she thanked everyone who showed her immense support since she embarked on her educational journey.
“Grateful for the love and support of my husband, children, family and friends and of course all of you!! Thank you for the wonderful congratulatory messages - I read and felt them all, feeling immense gratitude and warmth. To God be the glory,” she said.
The 39-year-old also holds two degrees, namely, a BCOM Communication Management Degree as well as an Honours Marketing Degree.
One would say this is indeed Thabethe’s year of winning as she tied the knot earlier this year to her husband, Peter Matsimbe.
The couple dated for four years before exchanging vows and got engaged in 2024.
The former “Top Billing” presenter also gave fans a glimpse of her intimate wedding, as she was surrounded by friends and family.
