Moshoeu never thought he was special in any way, and His grades from junior primary to secondary were great. He had a reputation for being troublesome, which was more psychological, not physical.

He was always in search of new challenges, and that got him in trouble. His schooling was free from undergraduate to postgraduate due to his good performance. At work, he worked hard to impress, but no recognition was forthcoming, until job-hopping became the new normal of promoting himself, until he got academic freedom.
