I first got a job in call centre in Randburg simply because I learnt how to use a computer. I then discovered that I need to spend much time in the community hence I resigned and I am now…

"My daughter 's dream became true", says Lungie 's mom

After long day of work in Mamelodi and Jozi centre, I decided to hang out with Lungie 's family in Soweto so they can know who she works with and see my face.

The highlight was when her mom shed tears and she said with a smile that her daughter 's dream became true. She always wanted to do this. The rest is history.…

For the love

If its for the people then I will keep on keeping on, but if its just for money then one can keep his money. I love what I do and it fulfills me. Adding value to someones life is a treasure one cannot understand till one experiences it. Love life and life will love you back.

The good and the bad

I finally saw the youthzones office in sandton with Marvin and his sharp nose shoes (lol)

We tried to lift our spirits and off to Zenzele we went, had a great time with the soccer girls there and Doc got a new friend.
