Best known all over the school for coming at his own time. in fact, he will show up at around nine-ten am instead of 7:30 am. Despite all these, he received fortynightly awards in his school for best perfomances. at the end, he was one of the first group doing matric at Nstsindza senior secondary school. Only one of the two with exemption. He also attended at Altona System College and later transfered to Tivumbeni College of Education.
