Not only will she receive an acknowledgment certificate from uMfolozi FET College next month, she has also been asked to write a poem about crime and road safety by the KZN MEC Transport and Community Liaison, Willies Mchunu.
‘I am very honoured to have been requested to write this poem. It’s even more special because the MEC asked me himself,’ said Mbali.
