Ten years ago, the man was just a village boy and today he is a doctorate holder. The young man's post caused quite a stir as some shared their opinions on it.
Wilfred Lindalo said:
"Kudos for the achievement. I must admit I failed to understand the correlation between your coming from a village and your PhD. I know a handful of people in a village in Southern Africa with PhDs though, and many others with none who have achieved a lot yet proud to have done it whilst staying put in their villages.Whatever you aim at can surely be achieved from anywhere."
Mmabatho Moeletsi commented:
"Shingirai, my brother, there is nothing wrong being from the village. We can all relate and is not a measurement of success. Instead your determination, hardwork, perseverance, intelligence brought your success. Kudos to you."

"Stay hungry and defy odds. You inspire many from your village, may your hands bless your village and those whose destinies are to be touched by you."
Status is reachable said:
"Congratulations, very inspiring! And may I add that's a mighty fine football shirt you have on there."
