South Africa...Ndiyabulela!
From the bottom of my heart, Thank You!
When this campaign started, I honestly didn't expect the kind of love, generosity and national support that has carried me from KuGompo City all the way to preparing for Hong Kong, China. Because of you, your donations, your shares and your belief, we reached and passed the target that will help me take Spectacles4TheBlind SA to the world stage.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.
Since my story aired on SABC News on Tuesday, 10 June, the attention has been overwhelming, in a beautiful but very intense way. As someone who's naturally introverted and happiest when I'm buried in coding and fiddling with hardware, the sudden wave of calls, messages and media requests has been a lot to manage.
To make sure nothing falls through the cracks and to help me stay focused on preparing for my upcoming travel to China, all enquiries: media, partnerships and stakeholder engagements will now be handled by usis' Nomzamo Nkatshu.

Usis' Nomzamo will be working closely with my parents to make sure everyone is attended to properly and that I can breathe a little while still honouring every opportunity that comes my way.
Thank you for understanding.
Thank you for believing in a kiddo from the Eastern Cape who just wants to build tech that gives dignity back to our people.
