He said he was nominated as a result of his tireless efforts to promote change among young people.

He remarked that being nominated for such a big award really shows that his work was noticed.
“I was born in the right place, at the right time, and all these things were meant to happen. Being born in Pienaar, a place known as the Ghetto, a depraved place, I strongly believe that I am the change this place requires, and I will work even harder to change the lives of the youth.”
This nominee asked the people of Mpumalanga to help him bring this award home.
“I am asking the public to vote as many times as they can so that I make it and put the province and the country on the map.”
