Dean Lotter, I don’t even want to imagine where I would be without you. You have made a big impact in my life and I know how much you want to see me do well in life. Thank you for the lessons, the support, for listening and for all the wisdom you shared with me. You are a rock star.
To the whole BBC (Bryanston Bible Church) community, thank you for praying for me when I was going through some of the worst days of my life. Unfortunately Pastor Roisleg, I don’t have R1.9 million to buy you a car.
Thabiso Ndimbane and Brian at Park Court, thank you for your loyalty and your ongoing support; I’m proud to call you guys my brothers. Mcendisi, Qubu and Motheo, we are gifted young leaders, keep up the good work. May we continue changing young people’s lives and I know that should I not be there, you will represent me well.
Thank you to every single one from Wits Univeristy who supported and encouraged my business. I would not be here, were it not for you.
To friends who buy books from me in Greenside and those who always make time to meet up with me at Doppio Zero, I love and value you all.
Alison Dupen and Fiona Tipping, I have nothing but love and respect for you my lovely friends.
Dr Edith Phaswana, thank you for driving all around Gauteng collecting book donations from people’s houses and letting me use your garage as a storage space. You and your daughter remain in my heart always.
Katie Engelbrecht, I have learnt so much from you in a short span of time. I enjoy working with you. I especially love how real you are. I hope to do this with you for many more years, my sister.
