WHY HE IS DOING THIS The 56-year-old said South Africa has a lot of talent that goes to waste because young people are not given opportunities to prove themselves, so he is on a mission to change that.

What drives me to empower young people is because it takes a village to raise a child. I believe so much in the spirit of Ubuntu because that is how we have survived over the years and it is really sad that we are losing that in this world we are living in now. We all need to look after each other, he said.
