BENEFICIARIES
OUR BRIGHTEST STARS
ZUKISANI TOM
“We come from humble families, old houses, small towns with sad stories. We are not hustling to impress or to be in competition with anyone. We just want to change the storyline and fight battles our parents never won.”
JUNIOR POKOMELA
“My only goal when I was a young boy was to be one of the few in my family to get through school and university and make a success of myself so that I could provide for those close to me. My life was forever changed by the incredibly generous support given to me by Nigel Bands, one of Amathube’s trustees. I was given the opportunity of becoming successful beyond my humble expectations. The continued support offered to me has greatly impacted upon my life and I look forward to watching the countless others that will have the same opportunities as I have had through the work of Amathuba.”
LATHI NQEBE
“Before I came to Grey High I couldn’t speak English. I wasn’t at a great school at all and I almost was confined into that small world. I didn’t think you could dream so big or experience so many opportunities as I did at Grey.”
Lathi is currently doing an internship at Southsure Brokers as part of his Amathuba Journey.
KAMVA YAKWE
“Nigel Bands would often invite me out just to get to know me better — and from there, it grew into something more. He invested in me, gave me his time, and most importantly, mentored me. He didn’t just support me — he became a friend. It all started with the simple act of sitting together on a Saturday, watching rugby. That’s when he began to see potential in me and gave me this incredible opportunity.”
