Speaking at the event, Nangula Kauluma, FNB Executive Officer: Premium Banking highlighted the determination needed to succeed and the three choices one must make – to either remove yourself from the situation, change the situation completely, and/ or accept the situation no matter the consequences that may follow. “You are not a victim of your circumstances, so you don’t have to wear your trials and tribulations. Keep pushing and remember that tomorrow is another day.”
