My name is Rofhiwa Ramuthivheli, born and bred in a village called Mailaskop in Limpopo. Growing up I would say, it was not easy for me, in fact it was difficult. I grew up in a family that had almost nothing and being raised by a single mom, who had to make sure that we had food on the table. I hated that life, and that kind of motivated me to work hard because I realized that studying was my only ticket to get out of that predicament.
Work Experience

Why Financial Management
While I was still in high school, I told myself I wanted to study B.com Accounting, because I loved accounting so much. But when I completed my matric, that dream just kind of became unrealistic because even though I was accepted to study at several universities, reality just kind of sets in, I had no money to go to study at a University, as a result I ended up taking a gap year from studying in 2016 just to gather my thoughts. But that did not discourage me, I knew there was another way to go to school, so while I was doing research online I came across Tshwane North college, read everything about it, the courses they offer, their campuses and I found it pretty cool, especially because they offered financial management of which I saw it as an opportunity to study what I always loved, Accounting.
Internship
I completed my N6 certificate last year December 2018. I started applying for internships. I managed to secure one interview. Went for the interview and on the same day on my way from the interview I got a phone call from Outex, asking me if I am still looking for an internship or if I have one. I told them, not yet. They sent me an email with links for me to complete my details and upload my qualifications and I did just that, did apply, I didn’t know where they got my details, the only thing I was interested in was the opportunity they were giving me. And I will be forever grateful for that.
Company
The company that I am working for right now is very professional, very supportive towards its employees and they always follow up on our performance to ensure that we are getting the relevant experience that will give us the necessary exposure to the corporate world out there, which is a great thing and I will forever be grateful for the opportunity they gave me.
