"At age 4, mother dead, father left…Had to struggle with my grandmother, today before I could secure my apartment I had to send her something for raising me, just to say thank you. At age 13 started taking care of myself until I made it to top 5 in matric. Went to University in 2014, started Fees Must Fall in UJ in 2015, got expelled in 2016 for 5 years. Became a laughing stock ko Kasi, stayed for 3 years. 2017 wrote a book, publishers refused. Self published and sold more than 3000 copies, nationally and internationally, wrote a second book, never gave up. Was allowed back in UJ in 2019 after serving 3 years. I was already old, watched my peers I studied with in 2014 excelling, I clapped hands for them, knowing that my time will come. Passed my BA in 2020, went for Honours, passed it in 2021. Got admitted in Teesside University in UK, got a good Job… wrote a stage play; Poison play, it got accepted in Soweto Theater and it will broadcast on the 8th of November 2022. Today I got an apartment…
Moral of the story, never give up
