What Motivates You:

His thoughts and motivations are influenced by the future of the younger generation, which depends on the information and knowledge passed down from generation to generation, just as our forefathers shared their knowledge and wisdom with us.

Born to working-class parents who experienced the impact of apartheid in South Africa, Thandizwe witnessed the segregation that affected people in South Africa through educational institutions. He understands the hardships faced by many due to a lack of information, basic needs, and the limitations imposed by the regime. Educational institutions played a pivotal role in implementing this injustice, and its impact is still visible today, with many facing mental health challenges and a lack of employment due to skill gaps, language, and educational obstacles. The growth of dysfunctional families in previously disadvantaged communities continues to expand. Those born into households affected by that system still face these challenges as today's youth. They become parents, and the limited information passed on to them is transferred to their children and future generations. With such education and training, hardships and poverty persist, and many face dire situations.

 

 

 

Climate Change:

A world at peace with each other has a better chance of reducing climate change. A well-informed community builds together, resulting in a positive community that supports each other for a better future. Accurate and sound information will reduce mental health challenges in all societies.
