Molimi was originally born in Soweto and is the youngest of the children in his family. It was through the “grace of God, hard work and an optimistic attitude” that three successive bursaries led him to being educated at St. Peters Preparatory, St Albans College and the University of Pretoria respectively. Of all the things Molimi could have done, he decided to be a motivational speaker, an unconventional choice for someone his age. “The fulfilment that he constantly receives from inspiring and empowering people was one of the factors that led him to pursue a career as a motivational speaker. He started motivational speaking when he was in his first year at University and loved it,” he says “The other factor was that he was making a difference in people's lives by re-awakening the sleeping giant within them and people were willing to reward him financially. Lastly, it was the immense support from his powerful mentors who are leaders in the motivational industry.”
