Yesterday, Athol got his results, he passed his MPhil and got a distinction for thesis on corporate social justice. Such an amazing achievement! I am so proud!
Oxford was a dream of Athol's. In 1998, on a trip to visit Oxford, his brother Nick bought him an Oxford jacket. Athol swore that he would only wear it when he only is officially a student. Now he can wear his jacket with pride.
Athol grew up in Mitchells Plain, Cape Town, South Africa during apartheid. Today, he has degrees from Wits, MIT, LBS, Harvard University, LSE and now Oxford University!
At the age of 47 years old, despite being older than all his classmates, supervisors and most of his professors, Athol still passed the two year MPhil degree.
We are proud of you Athol!
