The official opening of the Leuna Lechesa Building
I am Mosala Raboko, a former learner at Seliba Sa Boithuto.
When arrangements were made to establish Seliba Sa Boithuto, I was helping, but I didn't understand how
the system was going to work. The only thing I saw was the beauty that would come in the future. I decided
to test it myself and to see the promises that were hidden behind the idea of self-study. Today I can
confidently say to you, ladies and gentlemen, the so-called "stand up and go to do it yourself" works
very well. I have tasted it and find it the best.
The purpose of self-study is to make everybody a success and not a failure. I do believe that nobody is
born to be a failure and that all of us want to be successful at all stages of life. Self-study is meant
to re-build those who think that they are too old to study, or that they are on the reserve side of the failures.
Sometimes I find it difficult to take somebody's story and interpret it to a third person. Yet, how can you call
me a failure just because I was not able to transmit somebody else's information? I think you can agree
with me, that when you practice things it is always easier than just to read it.
Ladies and Gentlemen: let me now tell you our secret of learning here at Seliba Sa Boithuto. Our slogan
is Peer-Learning, that means we study in groups of two or more. I know, when you sit next to me, I will
take advantage of you, so that I turn away from my side (self-study) to your side (our-study) and then
begin to learn from you.
After realizing that I had studied enough, I promoted myself to General Managing Director in my own
company. I became a leader in more than five organisations. I even have attended two international meetings
as a local and international leader.
Ladies and Gentlemen: before I finish my speech, let me tell you how nicely this self-study system builds
up those who believe in it:
Self-study gives birth to Responsibility gives birth to Discipline gives birth to
Self-esteem gives birth to Success gives birth to Champion gives birth to Responsible Citizen.
