In this week's episode we showcase the lives of two former gardeners who have attained phenomenal success. Both children of domestic workers and raised in abject poverty, Lindelani Mnguni and Patrick Mabena were both driven by tenacity and hunger to forge a better life. Patrick Mabena's love for art had to be put on hold and had little option but to become a gardener so he could feed his family. But his dream was later realized by one of his employers who saw potential. Patrick has flourished in the art scene, producing exceptional work at the Unity Art Gallery in Johannesburg.
