“The most important things to instil in a child are knowledge, skills and core values. So many things today erode morals, respect and attitude. we need to get them back. We need to do this by being an example, by walking the talk.”

Thandi Mnguni has taught for 34 years at Zakhele Primary School in poverty-stricken Mamelodi East, where she initiated the establishment of a library and an after-school programme at a local church.
