Meet Coca-Cola Beverages Financial Planner, Mamosholudi Thapedi. Born and raised in Bloemfontein, she completed her studies at the University of the Free State, before completing her articles with the Office of the Auditor-General.
Mamosholudi says that she enjoyed Mathematics and Accounting at school and always envisioned herself studying accounting, especially after a chartered accountant visited her high school. Since then she has taken accounting and finances in her stride to be where she is today.
“Setting goals for myself is the driving force that motivates me,” she says, “to always have in the back of my mind that where I have begun and committed to something I have to see through, no matter the falls along the way. What matters is waking up every day and pushing on.”
Mamosholudi has a deep appreciation for those who support her, saying: “I realised, having to juggle work, school, and a personal life, that I am very well supported by the people close to me in every single way; whether it be chores, financially, or emotionally – making sure I don’t get left behind. They know that I love them.”
Throughout her life, Mamosholudi has had to overcome many obstacles, but she has overcome them all, holding onto words spoken to her by her father. “There’s something my dad said to me once as a child,” she said, “that life can never always just be rose petals, it is designed to have good and bad times and the one is just an interlude between the other, and that made sense.”
Outside of work hours, Mamosholudi enjoys socialising, but with time has also grown to love her space, staying home, and unwinding in front of the TV.
