The 27-year-old holds a qualification in Film and Television from Big Fish school of Digital Film Making in Cape Town.

“I have always loved taking photographs and taking videos of people around me. I plan to teach the world about Women’s and children’s rights and also introducing news forms of learning such as going digital, seeing that we have moved into a more digitalised way of doing things. I think if education systems and ways of teaching can be moved to a more digitalised way more children will succeed in their studies,” he explained.
