One childhood memory that has spurred you to such levels of achievement?

As a child, my grandmother’s dedication to her day job and passion for sewing left a lasting impression on me. Watching her work tirelessly to provide for our family while pursuing her dreams inspired me to work hard and strive. She taught me the importance of never giving up on my dreams.

Advice to your younger self?

If I had the chance to advise my younger self, I would prioritise pursuing my passions and not be afraid of taking risks. I would encourage my younger self to believe in my potential and embrace life fully.

What would you like South Africa to look like in five years?

I would like to see a more inclusive, prosperous, and sustainable South Africa. A country that is crime free, with reduced poverty, and equality, that uses renewable energy, crime-free and that gives more opportunities to women.
