Driven by passion and patience
Maseru-LINTLE Thamae has always had a passion for saving and investing. From her first job as an accounts clerk at the National Motor Company, Thamae would save whatever she could for the rainy day.
Then as the savings increased, she started looking for investment opportunities.
The idea, as she recalls, was to grow the money for a comfortable retirement.
Yet her first initial forays in investments didn’t always work out.
She burnt her fingers when she was hoodwinked to invest in two pyramid schemes that quickly collapsed, leaving her shattered and disappointed. Thamae chuckles when she talks of those unfortunate incidents.
