Music great is now planning to go to university next year
Congratulations are in order for musician Sipho 'Hotstix' Mabuse, whose drive to overcome a lack of education is impressively on track.
Mabuse signed up at Peter Lengene Adult Basic Education Training School at Thaba-Jabula Secondary School in Klipspruit, Soweto, to study for his Matric certificate.
This is the first step towards his ultimate education goal - a masters degree in anthropology.
And he's just announced on Twitter, "The news is out. I PASSED MY #MATRIC. AM SO HAPPY... Going to university next year".
Mabuse dropped out of school at Grade 11 in 1969 to pursue his music career as a member of the then popular Afro-funk group Harari. He told Sowetan previously that hitting the limelight as a musician made him to lose focus on his studies. However, despite his achievements as a musician, Mabuse always felt incomplete without education.
