@Joravisjunior said:

"Getting these spectacles would mean the world to me. I’ve always had eye problems growing up but due to my parents not being financially stable, I couldn’t get the proper specs for me. So I spent the whole of primary and high school without any specs. Which caused my eyes to get even worse, as I forced my eyes to do what they weren’t able to do."

@Mbalivander said:

"I have a grade 5 learner in my class (grade 5) who really really struggles with his eyesight. Both his parents are unemployed, and so they’ve been up and down public hospitals for years now. It really breaks my heart because he’s being disadvantaged so badly and can’t even get help because of his family situation."

@Cas.marothi said:

"I’m not going to add a long story explaining why I’d need those glasses, because I’m practically half blind."

@_precious_mthiyane said:

"My eyesight has been blurry since a young age. I made it worse by being on screens (laptop and phone) for too long now it is worse. It is affecting my everyday life because even at work, I ask for help when it comes to seeing things that are near me."

"I'm going to nominate a colleague of mine on his unique perspective and challenge. He has been a dedicated member of our team. What sets him apart is his unwavering determination and dedication, despite facing certain challenges related to his vision. He has shared with his experience of having a shortsighted vision, which requires him to Zoom in on his laptop, phone and sit closer to the TV."

Lasizwe shines on Picture Perfect season 2

Lasizwe is part of the South African reality TV show The Perfect Picture season 2, which premiered on 23 July 2023.

He said that taking a photo is not as easy as it seems:

"There is a big difference between capturing images and being a content creator. Images that I learned on the show are about capturing that moment that tells a story through that moment. Capturing video its that, at some point, you have to see the story happening and build on it. While a picture is one moment that needs to tell a story throughout the whole moment."
