ACTRESS Kholofelo Lekganyane was over the moon after she was honoured with two certificates and awards at the Saltig Training College.
The ceremony was held at the University of Limpopo on Wednesday, 6 December.
The 31-year-old, popularly known for her role as Maureen from Mankweng in Limpopo, told Daily Sun she feels blessed to be honoured.
The actress said she was awarded by the Saltig Training College in Limpopo for being a philanthropist of note and a positive influence on the youth advocating for youth empowerment.
"I have been known for my charitable work from when I was still Miss Limpopo to date. I motivate the youth to do better and to never look down on themselves irrespective of their background," she said.
The actress believes it's important to leave a mark.

"I have created a legacy and one day I will be no more and the hearts that I have touched will be proof that I lived and that I made a difference. And the world will see that indeed Kholofelo Lekganyane was here.
"I dedicate this award to my mum Ellen Lekganyane. I'm this young woman that I am today because of her," said Kholofelo.
The actress said she has taught herself to pray, be humble and give a helping hand where she can.
"I'm a social worker by profession, I have a degree in social work from the University of Limpopo but I'm currently an Actress at Skeem Saam," she said.
The actress said there's a lot she hopes to achieve, but only God knows her destiny.
"I plan to host the annual Miss Mankweng and Miss Santa Claus because those are pageants aimed at moulding young women into being women of note.
"It's for young women to channel their talent and prevent them from being prone to teenage pregnancy. And to instill hope in them that it doesn't matter where you come from, your dreams are valid," she said.
