Biography

My name is Koketso Makaba, born-and-bred in the dusty streets of Kutupu village (Nebo), an intellectual being whom had dreams and long-term goals like everyone else.

My first education journey began at Kopjeng Primary School. Then I went on to High School at Maserumule Senior Secondary School. Like everyone esle, after I completed my last year of High School I intended to further my studies but unfortunately due to the lack of finances as well as information, I ended up taking a Gap Year in 2014.

My narrative changed once I got accepted by the University of Limpopo to further my studies a year later. I proudly obtained my first and second qualification which were Bachelors of Science in Mathemetical Science and Honours Degree in Statistics in 2018 and 2019 respectively.

After completeing my Honours Degree, I had no desire to further my studies nor staying at home like I did before. So I took a leap of faith and applied for every job opportunity that I came across with the hope of a better future. It's said that there are obstacles in life and everything is a lesson. I learned and leaped towards a new journey thus forth.

While I was in the process of actively looking for a job, I found myself being shortlisted for an interview with CDVision Marketing. By then I didn't know that I had stumbled across an opportunity of a lifetime. I approached the company with a common goal which was to make a difference and to change my family's narrative as poverty was no stranger to me and my upbringing. I am the first born followed by four siblings so I felt somewhat obligated to make that change as the first born son. I had to make a difference.

When I started in the business I struggled with social anxiety/networking, low self-esteem and my introverted mannerisms definitely came in clutch. It was ironic because I am an educated individual yet I couldn't grasp the idea of direct sales but I didn't allow all these adversities to negatively affect and hinder me from my goal. I worked my way up from knowing absolutely nothing to where I am today as the CEO and sole director of Matrix Vision Marketing.
