And it\u2019s from that sort of perspective that I share it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like how everything has an element from everything that\u2019s been touched on thus far, where physical health can also be affected by financial health, by mental health, and all these aspects,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-academic-ambitions\">Academic ambitions<\/h3>\n<p>ProVerb also shared that he plans to pursue his studies until he obtains a doctoral degree, inspired by his family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy dad is a medical doctor, and my mom was an academic doctor. She was a professor at the University of the Northwest. Academia was not something I initially took to naturally. I first wanted to be an entertainer, which I still am.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I always had this bug and this itch that I had to go and scratch. So I revisited it, and I\u2019m currently completing my master\u2019s now, hoping to pursue my DBA so that I can also get the Dr title on the strap,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He is currently pursuing his Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree, following his Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the one hand, absolutely, it is to pay homage and respect to my family, but also, personal pursuits and personal aspirations that I have for myself, just to see how far I can take it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DSXhnEGiJsF\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"\/>\n<p><strong>NOW READ: \u2018We lost one of our own\u2019 \u2013 Gayton Mckenzie on DJ Warras killing as Friday march is planned<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#ProVerb #wins #big #Mind #Page #Writers #Awards<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations are in order&#8230; Rapper and media personality ProVerb, whose real name is Tebogo Thekisho, has won at the 2025&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":45257,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45256"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45256\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45258,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45256\/revisions\/45258"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
