Behind the scenes of my 10 year long journey becoming a CA(SA) and of not giving up!

• Hi! I am Vhonani Ndwambi, a proud South African and Chartered Accountant from SAICA (The South African Institute of Chartered Accountants).
• Being raised by a ‘single parent’ gave me more reasons to want to succeed as I saw how my mother worked so hard to give us a better life. Her struggle kept my ambitions alive and reminded me of ‘why’ I wanted this.
• The CA journey tested my faith, my dreams, and my ability to keep at it even when things seemed impossible!
• Here is my story of how I was able to achieve my dreams with the limited resources that I had and how delay doesn’t mean denial.

Back Story – Why Chartered Accountancy?

I am from Limpopo and a daughter to the strongest, loving, dedicated ‘single mother’ of 4. I grew up in church for most of my life and that’s where my faith was birthed.

Growing up I never aspired to be a Chartered Accountant. In fact, when it was time to choose my majors in high school it was not a decision that I was 100% sure of.
