Education is the great equaliser! I am who I am today because of education. In addition to the opportunities, it gave me the confidence to walk boldly into the future despite all the challenges that come my way. Of course the true power of education goes beyond the qualification, it is in the ability to stay curious and learn from life itself.

WATCH | Seasoned academic Dr Mamokgethi Phakeng says South Africa does not have a mathematics crisis. She says that the issues begin at the foundation level, where numeracy and number sense are weak, and notes that some teachers lack strong confidence in mathematics.

Today was truly a joyous occasion as we had the incredible honour of welcoming Prof Mamokgethi Phakeng @FabAcademic to our school, #LufherengSecondary bright and early. Her visit was a delightful treat that captivated everyone’s attention. I've never seen my colleagues so engrossed, completely leaving their WhatsApp messages behind She brought Kit Kats (Chocolates) for the educators, which was such a sweet surprise, and generously shared the rest with our enthusiastic Grade 12 learners. She moved from class to class, offering inspiring words of motivation and encouragement to the grade 12s. It was a day full of smiles and uplifted spirits. Thank you so much, Professor Phakeng, for making this day truly unforgettable. It's midday and colleagues are still talking about your visit. – at Roodepoort, South Africa

Former vice-chancellor of the University of Cape Town, Professor Mamokgethi Phakeng, has weighed in on the matric results, expressing that they were good but concerned that 30 years into democracy, the country still has two schooling systems running side by side.

I am in awe of Professor @FabAcademic. She is living her truth.Contend in her skin. In a country where toxic masculinity and misogynistic behaviour rears ugly heads,I was all smiles to see her letting negativity escape like lightning bolt. She hasn't outsource validation.#Respect

Prof Phakeng: “Don’t start a fight because I know how to fight,” 🫢
She asked JJ Tabane, “Do you know how many people said I shouldn’t come to you because you are a journalistic buffoon?”

2. I'm gonna deal with the two issues as underlined.
- Let's start here on HR or labour issues
- actually, UCT couldn't find anything to get in order to fire Prof Phakeng. They then realized the best way is to buy her out of her contract. Don't get it twisted

But first, Brazmata coffee ❤️☕ Fresh from her morning run, UCT Lecturer Prof. Mamokgethi Phakeng is refueling with her favorite brew. The secret to starting strong! Kickstart your day with a great cuppa from Café 365 at an Engen near you! #ExpressoShow
