Mokaedi says: “I love my family and love my work. These two things give me the energy to wake up every morning, yearning to make a difference in the world. In my spare time I enjoy the freedom of running, and an occasional walk in a park – whose pleasure is often interrupted by some unrefined attempt at golf. One day I will figure it out!”.
