Speaking on the importance of education and mentorship, Somizi said, “Mentorship and education are key in shaping any young person’s future. It’s not just about academic learning but also about gaining life skills, confidence, and the right mindset.”

Every great journey begins with a single step.”
As the school tour moves into Mamelodi, Sebokeng, and Orlando, Somizi continues to shine as more than a performer—he’s a mentor on a mission. His words and presence remind learners that their dreams are valid, their talent is enough, and their futures are bright.
