Nomzamo Mbatha wears resilience on graduation (Photos)

Nomzamo Mbatha attended her graduation ceremony on Tuesday. It is the same day she received her accountancy degree from the University of Cape Town.

Nomzamo reflected on what actually pushed her to continue in her studies despite having a good acting career.

“For the past five years that I have been in the industry‚ every year in January it was so hard for me because there was this thing that reminded me that I had a certain incompletion and dropping out and a certain failure. Despite all the things that I was achieving‚ it just wouldn’t go away.”

She had to complete her studies to show that she was capable.

“I felt like I wore the face of failure for such a very long time. I knew the responsibility that I had. I understood the badge I wore and the badge had to have an effect now. For me‚ it was understanding where I am and completing it for myself.”

Dress

It was Nomzamo’s dress however, that bore it all.

The dress had the South African Depression & Anxiety Group’s toll free number printed on it. It also featured pictures of the people that she’s lost in her life. She also added the words ‘resilience‚ courage and overcome’ on the dress.

Nomzamo received many congratulatory messages not only for her degree, but her resilience, courage and overcome.

When receiving her cap, she made the Amandla fist and paid homage to the late Winnie Mandela.
