Young science author on a mission to transform lives

LIMPOPO – Young science author, Vincent Ramoshaba is on a mission to use science as a transformative tool.

Ramoshaba is the author of the digital book, ‘The Reality of Science’.

The book is based on the premise of science and its continuous scientific inheritance based on new theoretical ideas that he developed with an end goal of sharing them on the level of learners and the less literate on the science spectrum.

According to Ramoshaba, ‘The Reality of Science’ informs and breaks down ideas such as astronomy, diseases such as HIV/aids, light, religion, politics, the history of Nelson Mandela, Astrology, and theoretical physics.

“The book also explains experiments which may answer to most of the complex and unanswered rhetorical science questions to this day, such as the proof of the existence of God through experiments.

“From a young age, I always believed that God is a scientist. My mission on this earth is to show others that science can solve real problems, especially for the youth,” said Ramoshaba.

He said his interest in science was sparked by his late father, and that he wrote the book to inspire young South Africans to see science not only as a subject but as a powerful means to address societal issues.

“My dream as a young South African citizen is to bring science to South Africa and the young ones, utilising it in large to solve predicaments such as poverty, unemployment, substance abuse, teenage pregnancy, HIV/aids, economic issues and corruption,” he said.

Reflecting on his journey, Ramoshaba recalls his time at the Magoza School of Excellence, where he was encouraged by his teachers.

“My teachers, especially my maths teacher, really helped me see the potential in science and mathematics.”

Ramoshaba is currently working on his second book, ‘Troubleshooting the World’s Matters, with God Being a Scientist’.

He has ambitious goals for the future. “I would love the opportunity to work with South Africa’s leaders and companies led by visionaries, to spread the power of science. With their support, I believe we can make a real difference,” he said.

For aspiring scientists, Ramoshaba advises young people to find role models and embrace resilience.

“Just like you have role models in music, find someone in science to look up to, like Michael Faraday or Marie Curie. But remember, life is not a race, it is a marathon. A delayed dream does not mean it is denied,” he reflects.
