Q: A:
Q: How did you get the sponsorship from the Foschini group for your school?
A: In grade 4 my teachers
acknowledged the fact that I was doing very well in my school work. I worked very hard and they saw my talent in needlework so they applied for a sponsorship for me for school clothing, as my family could not afford it.
When did you win your Special Sewing Award? I was a teacher that specialised in needlework. I won the award between 1984-1988. It was awarded to me by the Free State Department of Education. What have you achieved that you are most proud of? I must say - receiving the opportunity to go to India and being able to interact with Government Officials, and to witness how they keep the economical development so high. And then also being able to learn about skills development and business while I was in India. Do you have a message for young people? Yes, Just focus on the talent or talents you have, make the best of your circumstances and never focus on getting rich quick.
