Allen Ngwenya
Having been greatly inspired by �ulani through his facebook updates, I decided to approach him for an interview. Sure enough
he had no problem. I believe most people will be highly motivated by his story.
�ulani Allen Ngwenya born in Boksburg on the 15th of June 1986 and raised in three di�erent provinces, namely: Gauteng,
Mpumalanga and Limpopo. He is the 4th born out of a family of 6, the only one to get a Matric Exemption and a degree. “I have
done well academically thus only did schooling for 11 years instead of 12 as I was promoted. I passed my BCom Accounting
with 6 distinctions at the University of Limpopo”, he says.
“I changed schools very so o�en due to relocations, that resulted in me being wiser and multilingual, as I had to learn and study
a new language at each school. I am a proud product of the public school system, which has taught me to be independent
and improvise, it taught me that I am competing with well-resourced pupils and I must be at par with them regardless of
circumstances. Being from a poor household, I always believed that education was going to be the ticket out of the miserable
poverty thus I ensured that I passed with �ying colors at all times.
As I grow up I have let go of the useless interests of watching movies and playing soccer and concentrated on interests meant to
change the lives of my fellow human beings. I do lot of community work and online youth empowerment and I consider that
to be my interest”.
