## Resource

Pertunia Nkomo-Mofokeng, 34, turned life’s detours into destiny—pausing her studies to become a mother at 20 didn’t derail her dreams; it redirected them. Now deputy dean at Rosebank International and a PhD candidate, she’s also a semi-finalist for Mrs South Africa 2026. Raised in Soshanguve with faith and community as her anchors, she returned to university, outpacing her peers, and now mentors thousands. As a mom to four children in a blended family, she uses her platform to uplift women and spark change—proving that setbacks aren’t endpoints, but launchpads.
