Early Life
Pheeha was born in Botlokwa in a village-based in Limpopo. She was brought up by well-educated parents who started her education journey at the age of 4 years old. She matriculated with 5 distinctions and 2 companies offered her a bursary opportunity. Pheeha started her tertiary studies at the early age of 16 with the backing of good results to her name. However, she took 9 years to complete her 4-year degree. She expresses that her experience in tertiary education was “humbling” for her. With the bursary expiring based on the time she took to complete her studies, there was now a shortage of money to pay the remaining fees. Pheeha decided to start a tuck shop with a group of friends with the purpose of raising funds. According to Pheeha, “My experiences as a student and my experience with failure and how it impacted my relationship with God, taught me how to deal with people who are struggling. Whether you’re struggling with your own mistakes or something is not working out and you’re not getting a breakthrough. I believe that experience has given me an understanding and a heart for what people are going through.”

Career
