Welcome to the Official website of Madia Thomas.

This personal website will tell you everything you will like to know about me. You
will get to know me better, from the day I was born up to now.
I was born on Thursday, 18
th February, 1982 at Shayandima Township, which
is situated 5km from Thohoyandou.
My first name is Thihanedzwi, second name is Thomas, but in most cases I use just
Thomas to save time.

Started home-based schooling at the age of 2. By the age of 4, I was ready for mainstream
school. I enrolled at a primary school at Itsani, which is just a stone-throw away
from Shayandima.

I completed primary education at the age of 11. By the age of 12, I was attending
at Shayandima High school. I participated in nearly every sporting code at Shayandima
High School. I completed my matric at the age of 16, on the 29th of Decemember
1998.

I enrolled at Wits Technikon, now University
of Johannesburg in July 1999, for a Chemical Engineering diploma.
I dropped out of Chemical Engineering in 2000 as it wasn't my thing.
My first contact with computers was not at the typical programmer's age of 13, I
only started using computers in 2000 at Wits Technikon, that's when I discovered
that computers excite me than anything else.
