Had a life-changing moment? Tell us about it…

The birth of my daughter made me realise my time of writing “no dependents” all the time is over. I have a responsibility to take care of. It also made me realise that I have grown.

What’s the biggest thing you learnt from that experience?

I have learned to be more responsible. I also learned to do everything for the benefit of my family being my daughter and her mother.

Favourite school teacher?

Ms Mokalanyane who taught me to write my name and could successfuly discipline me without using any form of corporal punishment. At the age of 6 really that was a wonderful but rare skill indeed.
