Lindokuhle grew up in KwaNyuswa, a semi- rural area were kids do not really achieve what they set out to do mainly because of their financial background.

 

He says, “It was hard, especially since we had no help. My parents, my brother and I put money together to pay for my studies.”

 

Lindokuhle worked in a promotion company while he’s father is a grinder and his mother a domestic.

 

He plans to open his own eco-friendly cleaning services.
