In 2019: May I inherit the discipline to invest the necessary energy, faith & devotion to pursue God's purpose for my life every day.May I remain steadfast in times of adversity so that I can overcome it & live to share my testimony with someone who desperately needs to hear it.
A few months ago, Fred contributed a piece to my blog which outlined why educating the next generation of African leaders will be so important. https://t.co/wCLJIENm6g

@TheNduna I'm not a very impressionable person, but I'm so inspired by you and @ZibusisoSays. I wish you both sustained success in all of your success. Each time you achieve something significant, I believe that I can too.
@sosophulula@mindnewtrition@SMURfMaBangBang@ujfm@ThaboZulu19@DBE_SA 100% correct. But we can't fault the students on their own. The education system in it's entirety is structured such that it strips us of independent thought. It restricts our thinking. It traps us within our own minds - we become our greatest limiting factor.
@ThaboZulu19@SMURfMaBangBang Investment into South Africa's education system has seen a steady increase over the last few years. In fact, the 2018 budget allocated R246.8 billion towards education yet the dysfunction still persists. What was done with the money?
@ThaboZulu19@SMURfMaBangBang Very true. Declining education standards, as opposed to fostering the progression of young people through the education system actually achieves the opposite result. It produces an incompetent youth. Very saddening.
There is something about the experience of chasing a big vision, learning how to execute, and persevering through enormous challenges that creates relationships unlike any other.
