Achievements

I am the co-founder and proprietor of Ikageng Tutorials, located in Stinkwater, Hammanskraal. I provide pro bono tutoring services to grade twelve learners in the fields of history and tourism. As a society, our primary focus is on learners in the fields of mathematics and sciences due to the transition into the fourth Industrial Revolution. I firmly maintain the belief that individuals possess unique talents, including those who choose to pursue humanities subjects. We must provide them with our unwavering support and encouragement to help them achieve their aspirations. They represent the individuals who will lead us in the future. Establishing Ikageng Tutorials is a way of reciprocating the support I received from my neighbours while growing up, as a way of contributing back to my community.

Mentors

Dr Thokozani instilled in me the belief that any goal can be attained through focus and determination. Nomfundo Brukwe served on the residence committee in 2019. The woman inspired me to work diligently and achieve numerous accomplishments, such as becoming a recipient of the Golden Key 2019 award. She openly shared her background and demonstrated how she overcame challenges in life.
