Former President of South Africa Nelson Mandela once said: “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” While this inspiring quote rings true, many social media users feel that amapiano star Focalistic’s degree may not be able to do so.

A University of Pretoria alumnus, the graduation video of Focalistic – born Lethabo Sebetso – recently resurfaced on X (formerly known as Twitter) and had many people feeling that his Political Science degree (according to MDN News) was ineffectual.

Other social media users backed away from calling the degree useless and instead congratulated the Straata hitmaker on his previous achievement:

“A role model to the youth. He made his momma proud first and then got to it for himself.”

“Congratulations to him. I’m sure he had reasons why he chose political science degree. People should leave him alone and focus on their degrees if they have them.”

“No degree is useless, depends how you make it open doors for you.”

No degree is useless, depends how you make it open doors for you. I don’t understand people who discourage education. Why go to Dr’s, need Lawyers, need teachers, Architects list go on.
