Grad Week 2025 | Lesedi Mnisi — Law, Resilience, and the Power of Family

Loading player...
In this Grad Week 2025 episode, we sit down with Lesedi Mnisi, who graduated that very morning with her LLB (Bachelor of Laws) — a milestone achieved through discipline, determination, and unwavering resilience.

Joined in studio by her mom, Lesego Mnisi, and her sister, Neo Mnisi, Lesedi reflects on the real journey behind the law degree: the expectations she arrived with, the pressure and challenges she pushed through, and the moments that tested and shaped her along the way. The conversation also opens space for family reflection, as her mom and sister share what it has meant to witness her growth and perseverance first-hand.

Recorded on 09 December 2025 as part of MFM 92.6’s Grad Week 2025 series, this episode goes beyond the qualification to explore identity, support, and the values Lesedi now carries into life beyond campus — as a proud graduate stepping into the legal world with purpose and humility.

Once a Matie, always a Matie.
