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

Overcoming challenges repeating a grade. One of my childhood memories is overcoming challenges. I had low self-esteem, which affected my school years and grades. I gained confidence after I realised that you can become a better person. Failure is not the end of the world, but actually a motivation to do better. I am now proficient in facilitating and moderating in large corporate settings.

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

It is generally hoped that South Africa will continue to progress towards greater social and economic equality, improved education and healthcare, reduced crime rates, and a more stable political environment. Additionally, there is a growing focus on environmental sustainability and the transition to clean energy sources to mitigate the impacts of climate change. It is important for the country to address the challenges it currently faces while also pursuing a vision of a brighter future for all its citizens
