I’m one of those people who believes that leaders are born everywhere.
A leader is someone who identifies a problem and sets an example by tackling it.
On this note, let me give Lekau Sehoana his flowers while he can still smell them.
I have never met Lekau but his deeds and efforts are things we can all see.
As someone raised in the typical township of Ivory Park, where poverty is rife, Lekau didn’t allow his socio-economic situation to determine his destiny.
He worked hard to launch his sneaker range Drip, which went on to become a household name and created many jobs for locals.
Drip is not just a takkie, but a living testimony that through dedication, people might achieve success irrespective of their backgrounds.
As young people, we must embrace our own capabilities and go the extra mile to push back against the frontiers of poverty.
