When she was nine months old, she moved with her family to Thokoza, Everest, where she was raised by her grandmother most of the time because her mother had to work for a living. She started school at Khehlekile Primary School, and now, she’s currently studying at Tiisetsong Secondary School as a grade-12 learner.
She realised her talent in writing at the age of thirteen, when she was in grade 8, when her Zulu teacher, Mrs Nhlapho, made her enter a competition called pan-pulse, where they had to write about the things that are affecting the economy of this country, such as crime, teenage pregnancy, HIV and AIDS, poverty, unemployment, etc. She decided to write about teenage pregnancy because she couldn’t understand why kids should fall pregnant at such an early age while still at school even. In most cases, getting pregnant at an early age can lead to poverty since other girls drop out of school once they find out that they’re pregnant and even have to take care of their kids.
After her accomplishment in writing that short story, she then won a certificate of ‘Story Writing’ from the district and a book from Juda Education. After months and months of spending time on reading, she associated herself with positive-minded people and always watched positive programmes from the television and listened to her favourite radio station, Metro FM. That also inspired her a lot, especially the show Sound Revival by DJ Sbu, because, according to her words, she loves the fact that Mr Sbusiso Leope cares so much for the youth and always motivates and gives advice to the youth to keep pushing and, most of all, gives them the chance to still be educated. And by that say, that has always kept her going.
When Mr Sbusiso Leope launched his book on her birthday (which was on 02 December 2013), when she also saw him on his 2014-204me advert around January 4014, and when he was invited by Tshepo Ledwaba (who loves helping people, more especially students, by making sure that they get enough motivation as possible so that they would never lose their way in life and achievements) to her school with his Leadership 2020 team to motivate the students, she felt like all that was a sign for her that she must do something with her skill—not just about her skill, but about changing the mindsets of the youths and teens who are still struggling to break the shell and chase what they have to and also to enhance the world into a better place.
Because she did follow her dream and passion and worked hard, today she’s the second person to be an author at the age of sixteen here in South Africa. Actually, she’s the first female to be an author at the age of sixteen here in South Africa, and she’s the second person in our country to have a published book at the age of seventeen, the book called Atom-Smashing Power of the Mind.visualizza meno
