Dumela was born and raised in Nyavani, a rural village in Malamulele, Limpopo, and has a multimedia degree.
"I would like to thank Geekulcha and everyone who nominated me for the Top 25 shortlist of the Top 15 Young Geeks for 2018. This nomination and recognition by Geekulcha is a great honour and means way more than I can articulate", said Mukondli.
Humility is one of the most important qualities which you must have, because if you make people realize that you are not a threat to them, then people will embrace you.
