Loading player...
In this Grad Week 2025 episode, we sit down with Alex Fortuin, who graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Humanities — a milestone that reflects consistency, discipline, and academic excellence.
Joined in studio by his mother, Ingrid, Alex reflects on the real journey behind the degree: the expectations he arrived with, the challenges he pushed through, the moments that shaped him, and the people who stood by him throughout his time at Stellenbosch. The conversation also opens space for family reflection, as his parents share what it has meant to witness his growth and achievements along the way.
Recorded on 09 December 2025 part of MFM 92.6’s Grad Week 2025 series, this episode goes beyond the qualification to explore values, gratitude, and what being a Matie has meant to Alex — as well as the lessons he carries forward into life beyond campus.
Once a Matie, always a Matie.
