“Towards the end of high school, I’d considered studying either nursing or business admin, but I couldn’t get into university or college because my maths results weren’t good enough, and I couldn’t get financial aid because I am a foreigner.”
“Most of my life was spent growing up in Lotus River. It’s a troubled community with lots of challenges most specifically crime and drugs which are big problems there. Like many poor neighbourhoods, we had a lot to deal with.”
“I was born into a world of bullets – Manenberg on the Cape Flats. It is one of South Africa’s most notorious hotspots for gang violence. Scores of innocent bystanders get caught in the crossfire between rival gangs daily.”
