WATCH | 'Nothing is impossible' - Saray Khumalo on conquering Mount Everest

One of the things that drove Khumalo was her fundraising. She has previously raised more than R1m for the Nelson Mandela Foundation for school libraries. For this journey, she was raising money for orphans to finish university through the Dr Thandi Ndlovu Foundation.

With her at the media conference was team exhibition leader from Ireland Noel Hanna, who has summited Everest nine times. "People keep asking me is that really you?" Khumalo said of the photo in which her face cannot be seen under the mask and glasses.Khumalo said the reason she thinks she made it to the top this time was"because God made a way. It was the right time. It is his time."

Hanna said he was thinking about how Irish team member Seamus Lawless died on the descent. He fell from an 8,300m part of the mountain high called the Balcony.

Let us say, ' the first recorded' How do we know if black women submitted Everest centuries ago?

She is lucky to be alive

You are the pride of RSA & Africa. Thanks
