A chief at an ABC Motsepe League club has received much praise and inspired everyone at the side, including a PSL star, with his latest achievement.
Sunrise FC chairman Thabiso Moral Thobane will be walking around with a new confidence confidence, as well as a feeling of pride and accomplishment, after he graduated with a Masters of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering.

His graduation ceremony which took place at the University of Johannesburg's APK campus seems to have inspired the club as a whole, as congratulations and well-wishes were the order of the day.
"We would like to proudly congratulate all-round entrepreneur Chairman of Sunrise FC, Thabiso Moral Thobane, on his recent graduation with a Masters of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Johannesburg (UJ) at the APK Campus graduation ceremony," the club wrote in a post dedicated to the multiple-time graduate.
"Your dedication and hard work inspire us all, and we are immensely proud of your achievements.
"We wish you a prosperous and productive future.
"From the team, personnel, and the players."
Mamelodi Sundowns star Lesiba Nku took to the comment section to acknowledge Thobane's achievement and said: "Congratulations coach."
While Nku's message to Thobane may seem as though it could be something random, the player has previously opened up on his close affinity to the "coach" as well as the club.
The midfielder spent some his off-season training at the ABC Motsepe League side and also revealed why they mean so much to him.
"I took some time in the offseason to go back home. I grew up training and playing on this very ground in Shongoane," he wrote in an Instagram post.
"A humbling experience indeed. I spent the other day with coach @thobanethabisomoral and the players from @sunrisefc_theelite."
