Sociologist

Sarah Mosoetsa

“I grew up with two dominant messages: you are not good enough, and you are special and destined for greatness. I chose to listen to the latter. But when failure came, the loudest noise seemed to be the first one. I persevered and over time I started to define myself differently. It is a constant struggle and I am a work in progress.”

Sarah Mosoetsa holds a PhD in sociology, lectures at Wits University and is the author of Eating from One Pot: Dynamics of Survival in Poor South African Households and co-editor of Labour in the Global South: Challenges and Alternatives for Workers.
