Naledi recalled that she left South Africa with only two bags and her career dreams.

The 27-year-old admitted that she nursed fears of finding her feet in Australia because of not having any family there.

But her determination eventually paid as Naledi would later discover that she left South Africa with an extra thing called courage.

She said:

"My fears were strong. Heading to a foreign continent, where I have no family. I kept telling myself, "I am still young, what if I fail, what if I am not good enough."...... Coming from the most disadvantaged province (Limpopo) in South Africa, "how will I compete in the world."

"Our self-limiting beliefs, hold us back from realising our true capabilities.

"I realise now that I had more than just bags, I had 'COURAGE'."
