Mthatha

And so while we do have a fairly established program at the moment at the Klobecher site, we are trying to obviously extend that to Freer.

And obviously we really want to extend that to Umtata as well.

That is really one of our, I think, our big goals over the next five years.

We also, there are opportunities to look at critical care subspeciality training.

I was in a plane like that a few years ago, 1996, small aircraft, six-seater aircraft.

I was on my way to Mtata to preach for Pastor Don, the one that you saw on the screen.

God bless him.

And there was this small company, Mutafia Airlines.

Three white guys and me.

And the two pilots.

You know? So we, you know, and we're flying to Mtata.

You know when you're flying through Mtata, you go through the Drakensberg and you go over Lesotho.

Where are you from, doc?

So I'm actually from Mthatha in the Eastern Cape.

Um, but I am Zulu, so I have my roots, roots, roots in, um-

Yeah

Umlazi in KZN.

Yeah.

Um, but I definitely grew up in Mthatha.

So you grew up there.

you know, do more work and do this impact work across the country.

And last year with Standard Bank, we then went to the Eastern Cape, to Umtata, you know, and we even went, you know, to Mamelodi just the other day with Investec.

So I think for me that the foundation is able to then say, guys, let's make a difference in the lives of learners.

Let's empower them and bring dignity to them from a school uniform perspective.

And how was your childhood?

Again, you know, uh, coming from a home like mine, rural Eastern Cape, the former Transkei in a small town called Mthatha, in a small village called Elibode, eTshohaneng.

Mm-hmm.

Um, y- y- I grew up under a lot of sense of community.

...

in our own home, and the only reason for that was there were now two TV channels available in Mthatha, where I was growing up.

Mm.

You would get TV1, which was in English and Afrikaans, but TV2 had just come to town, and that meant you could watch television in isiZulu and isiXhosa.
