I know a similar story, and my advice to Thembelani is: Don’t waste your time. Complete your studies, go to university, and pursue the specialty you love. Anything else may be a waste of time, or even life itself! You are talented. Channel your talent in the right direction and enroll in university. This is the real challenge you should strive to achieve!

But why we never asked which education we should receive I believe in education no doubt but is it ours in it's structure no that's why we can't create as we are the creators of most things in this world and it's because of a education system that was never for our benefits as black people we should have our own education system based only on two things,, MATHEMATICS AND MEDICINE FOR WE ARE THE MASTERS OF THAT IT'S PART OF OUR DNA AND WILL NEVER CHANGE UNTIL MOTHER NATURE DECIDE SO..💪🏾😢

@tshidisomoraka8861 Месяц назад

@@user-ti9ui7cd5e Agreed except with the bases just being on Math and medicine. What about those who are gifted in sports and arts? what we need is an education system that will help kids identify their talents and enhance them.

@ThubssDesignWorkshop Месяц назад

@user-ti9ui7cd5e Understandable. But then in order to make that change, we need to engage in the modern system of education. For us to bring that change , we need to be self-sufficient in terms of knowledge and funding never depend on any one to execute our ideas to life. Just like the gentleman in this video. Imagine if he had finished high school and went on to the engineering school. With bo doubt, he'd get funding with his capabilities. On top of that, he'd get deeper knowledge on what he wants to specialize in (robotics). He would be one of the next greatest engineers in south africa.....the benefits of education goes on

Even the most educated people won't do those projects he did on their own at home, he uses a trial and error without education. The car one I see, people have done lots of them at home but that hand one is probably the most difficult one to do without education. He dropped way too early in school but books are honestly not for everyone that's why we have people who prefer hand work than "brain work" though electronics need some brains. I hope to work with him in the near future with projects I have in mind, let me save this video... hope to meet him in the near future.

He can then start consulting for BMW, Merc, and other auto makers in SA 6. Once he has experience he can leave SA to go work for international auto markers 7. He needs to go to business school 8. He needs to build his own car using his own funds 9. He can now ask for funding A dream without a plan, grit or discipline will remain just a dream.

For him to drop out of school at grade 11 I believe it is language problem because the colonial language is the problem. To some people to speak colonial languages is better than reading or writing it that’s why this colonial language gives colonial beneficiaries advantage over others and it guarantees their privileges.

Why play the colonial language tune? Do you think one can learn robotics and engineering from books or schools in any of the local languages?
