With aspirations firmly set on a future in computer science and digital innovation, Xaba has successfully navigated personal struggles, underlining the importance of support, teamwork, and self-belief.

For the 18-year-old, the last year of high school was a profound test of strength amid major personal struggles, even though it can often feel like a gauntlet.

"I felt hopeless and tired but what kept me going were my teachers huge input and their guidance in which my marks were fluctuating because of stress," Kamogelo recalled.
