The 28-year-old challenged 30 of the greatest technicians from around the world, to take home the title.
"I won't stop here just because I've won; it won't stop there, I am just going to keep on bettering myself."

Best of Belron is a prestigious global competition in which top industry suppliers, customers, and companies participate.
Molefe started as a trainee in 2019, but her training and development were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"...she bounced back and she's always been a spectacular learner."
- Steven Lurie, Commercial Director at PG Glass
"We knew her capability that she was the top technician in the country that went over to compete. On day one when we watched her working, we had a very strong sense that she would bring home at least one award."
