Sbusiso Leope hosted a motivational sermon in Medunsa at University Of Limpopo last week Friday. The aim of his talk was to inspire students to know that education is a key to success.
The entrepreneur stated that his journey to success was not a walk in a park as it took him six years to finish a three year diploma and claims he never knew that the flaw of his voice would be the epitome of his success.
“I’m not one to boast about my success and some people don’t even understand how I got to this point however I had a plan and a dream and with my hard work, determination and ambition that summed up my future. I never gave up.”
The infamous radio personality and founder of the Sbusiso Leope Educational Foundation (SLEF) expressed his concern on the state of South African education and told Rekord that the foundation was also inspired by the trough of the standards.
“I think it’s quite obvious that our education is not where it’s supposed to be and that is the reason some of us are doing something about it by going to different institutions and schools around South Africa to try and encourage a culture of education.” He said.
Dj Sbu added on saying that South African standards dropping have become a crisis and a cry for help.
“I think we are at the state of emergency right now because the latest research came out and the statistics weren’t friendly about standards of South Africans education comparing it worldwide. We are a performing the least compared to other countries out there and we are facing a crisis.”
SLEF has managed to issue out 159 bursaries and has a great deal of sponsors behind them to name a few KPMG. SLEF aims to bring more opportunities on the plates of students that are hungry for the destiny of their own future. The foundation is currently working on a project named read a book South Africa where students review books every month. Read a book South Africa has a strong follow of 12k members and is rapidly growing around South Africa. DJ Sbu says he wants to encourage more black students to start reading so they can gain “Intellectual Swag.”
