Moja LOVE's Most Wanted presenter Themba Lukhele Nzimande, also known as Skeem GP knows what it's like to make mistakes. He is an ex-convict and has spent eight years behind bars for fraud and robbery. But since turning his life around, he wants young people not to make the same mistakes as him and encourages them to stay at school and be disciplined.
The businessman, TV personality, and philanthropist recently visited Greenfield Secondary and Fumana High School in Katlehong in the East Rand where he went to school and donated 250 sanitary towel packs to young girls in need. He also gave a motivational talk about discipline. "Peer pressure is real -the pressure to want to belong and be part of a group," he told the learners. "It's okay not to fit in and be the nerd or the odd one out. As long you are focused and disciplined, you will reap the reward in the end," he said.
Skeem GP tells ZiMoja that he has been running school visits for eight years and building youth from an early age helps to turn them into responsible adults. "It's important to start building their mentality while they are still young, so they can be responsible, adults with no criminal records and contribute positively to society. That is my aim," he says. "I am passionate about youth development of both males and females. The boychild has been neglected for a long time and needs our attention."
