I am so grateful that my mom witnessed the biggest event of my life. A single mom who sacrificed so much for me and my sisters and never had the opportunity to go to university herself, but she made it possible for me. When she stepped onto UCT campus this year, she said ” Fundisa […]

YOUR LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS
As the sun rises and slowly descends into the set on the lives of those that have seen so much in this lifetime. Father/Mother time has shown that your life is in your hands. That is, hands tell a tale that is visible to the naked eyes of life’s journeys passed bye -n – bye. […]
Grateful Begginings.
This was my first day at UCT. Arrived with gratitude and was very thankful for the new chapter and the opportunities that awaited me.
Focus On That Which Is Most Important To Life’s Progress
Our days can be of great challenge in this era of history. Therefore, it is important that we are motivated by a force that has one jumping out of bed in the mornings. Staying focused on that which is most important to our life’s progress gives purpose to one’s existence. Focusing on our purpose makes […]
Yes I Can And I Will

Direction
This picture symbolizes moments of defining and development for me. It was taken at a time when I was beginning a new venture. Filled with hope, passion and promise, I am learning what it is to build a life and career that my soul can handle and be fulfilled in.
Finding my people.
The difference friendship makes is everything. I am a very introvert person, but finding friends that I could share loud laughs made me reveal my happy confident side. THIS SMILE,IT’S REAL. Friends I now call family.

Seen by Stillness
This image is more than a landscape; it’s a mirror. Taken during a detour to Hidden Valley Wine Estate, it captures a fleeting but formative moment of stillness in my life. I was overwhelmed between cities, between deadlines, between expectations. I was due to board a flight to Johannesburg and write a semester test in […]
Edge of Adventure
Standing on the edge of life and crossroads of heritage. Purpose finds me in the paths of connection, where meaning unfolds in every step. In uncertainty’s shadow, a quiet light of hope guides me home—to myself, to my story, to belonging in this vast world.

Life
As confusing and complicated as life gets, we keep pushing through, no matter the situation, because we believe there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Redefining Masculinity
Hair braided. Confidence unshaken. Breaking the mold, one strand at a time. Who says men can’t embrace style and strength at the same time?
Courage
“Like a flower be soft, loving, kind and beautiful but never lose the courage to bloom.” ~ Debasish Midna
A portrait of love, gratitude and belonging
This picture displays security in love. It’s more than a graduation—it’s a portrait of home. I flew to Pretoria and back, my sisters drove 6 hours from Lesotho. We showed up for our baby brother, because that’s what love does- it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Our laughter holds the stories […]

Rooted in tradition, rising with hope, my story is a bridge between the wisdom of the past and the promise of tomorrow. Every thread I wear carries the strength of my ancestors and the dreams of a future where we all belong and thrive.
Laughter as a crucial screw in building prosperity
I believe for laughter to be a cure medication can’t provide. Positivity conquers fear and anxiety, giving hope and drive to work harder. It’s not about what you don’t have, as there are others that wish for what you have. And what’s most desired, even by the rich, is happiness, pure happiness. It starts from […]

A Window to Hope
Taken during the lockdown, this is a portrait of my young neighbour—confined within his home, yet peeking out through the wooden bars with wonder and quiet strength. Even when the world closed its doors, hope found a way to look outside.

A sun‑warmed pause.
“A sun‑warmed pause. Even the tide seems to listen.”
Mrs Vhudele
This is a picture of my mom. The best representation of me. She has been by my side since forever. One thing she always tells me is that Love is the one thing that has no currency, you cant overspend it. So you better love because there’s no limit to love.
