Pitso Mosimane reflects on two conversations that stayed with him long after the cameras stopped: Doctor Khumalo and Robert Marawa. "Most of the successful people have humble beginnings and great stories to tell." That is the thread running through both episodes. Doctor Khumalo had his training kit stolen and walked to practice in plastic bags. Robert Marawa grew up watching bad TV reception powered by a generator, too respectful of radio to ever dream he could be on it.
