Passion for financial markets since day one, a Level 2 setback that almost ended the journey, and a decision to keep going because the sacrifice already made was too significant to walk away from.

That's Taariq Mohamed's path to the CFA charter, and it was worth every hour.

πŸŽ‰ Congratulations to Botswana’s newest CFA charterholders!

We are delighted to celebrate Bubuya Ncube, CFA; Keboetswe Letsholo, CFA; Oratile Molatlhegi, CFA; and Teko Mmolawa, CFA on this outstanding achievement.

It was particularly wonderful to see three women receive their CFA charters, an encouraging reflection of the growing representation of women within the investment profession in Botswana and across our region.

We are proud to welcome all four charterholders to the global CFA community and celebrate this significant milestone in their professional journeys.

The Botswana celebration forms part of a series of CFA charterholder recognition events across the SADC region, as we recognise and welcome our newest CFA charterholders.

Congratulations once again! We look forward to supporting you as you continue to grow, lead and contribute to the investment profession.
