He is from Polokwane in Limpopo, and he attended school there. Furthermore, he went to the University of Limpopo, where he studied Law. The actor mentioned that he wanted to be a soldier when he grew up, but later in life, he decided to be an actor instead.
Although he studied Law, Clement stated that his calling of being an actor was too strong. He worked in a Law field for like three months and ditched it to become an actor. Ever since his choice to be an actor, Clement has become one of the most recognizable faces in Mzansi.Did you know Skeem Saam Actor Clement Maosa is a Law Degree holder?

” I attempted suicide twice after losing both my parents. I felt like I had nothing to live for. Little did I know that my purpose is bigger.”He also added that Varsity life also wasn’t easy because he didn’t have money for food. However, he persevered and graduated, but instead, he pursued his acting career, which he also didn’t have money for, but fortunately, he got the role and fell in love with the Kwaito character.
