Mmabatho Mokiti

Founder and Managing Director: Mathemaniacs

Mmabatho Mokiti believes we need more inventions by Africans for Africans and she is making this happen one maths and science pupil at a time. Her company, Mathemaniacs, offers one-on-one maths, science and accounting tutoring as well as teacher training to school and university students. The company this 28-year old Boksburg local started in 2010 with only R500 in her pocket has won numerous awards, including being runner-up in the Business Partners Ltd, IBM and IFC Young Entrepreneur Business Plan competition. Helping hundreds of learners to get better marks is not enough for Mokiti. She is also director of the Dad Fund, a non-profit organisation that provides bursaries for prospective university students. Mokiti draws her inspiration from pupils like the one who started his matric year with a 17% mark for maths but achieved 89% at the end of it. He is now studying Medicine at the University of Cape Town.

Hi. I'm inspired. Not because I shall the same name as Mmabatho but because we got so much in common but heart and for she is a soul destined to reach out and help people who cannot help themselves. We commonly connected with the factuality of living up to our name "Mmabatho" which means (Mother of the nation/ people's person). Thus I wish to reach out to her for I have to share so much positive. My details: Mmabatho Tshepiso Sebeloane 0648105642 email:mmabathosebeloane@gmail.com By the grace of the Lord you will in due time, you shall reach out to me and that would be highly appreciated by me.
