Formal education is the key to success, but some actresses have made it big in the entertainment industry despite being uneducated. In this modern generation, it’s about discovering your talents and skills and pursuing them.
Education is good, but it’s not always the key to success; below are famous actresses who are not degree holders.
Thembi Seete
Thembi has been making all sorts of headlines lately as she bagged a gig of being Idols SA Judge. Judging from her looks and acting skills, one can think Thembi is a degree graduate. She only attended high school, joining the Boom Shaka dance group, which thrust her into the limelight. After the Boom Shaka group separated, Thembi then ventured into acting, and we can all agree she has a calling on drama.
Terry Pheto
Undoubtedly she is one of Mzansi finest actresses who became a household name when featured in the movie Tsotsi. Judging by her English fluency, one can think Terry is formally educated, but she is not. She is among the personalities who discovered their skills and pursued them.
Minnie Dlamini
It’s hard to believe that the sassy and gorgeous actress is not a degree holder. With her unmatched acting skills, one can think she is an educational smartie. However, Minne dumped her UCT studies to pursue her acting career.
