"This is such a sweet post. We can learn so much from children. Awesome post."

Nontobeko Irene Mbanga:

"Dear Laetitia. I have so much respect for you and your whole family. You have successfully brought up a child who has UBUNTU qualities, a child who doesn't look at the colour of a person's skin before challenging them to play. A child who does not look at a person's job description. A Rainbow child that you are bringing up in SA. That child will go far in life. He will be successful and be part of the change that we need. I pray that God bless him as he becomes a role model for his peers and may he be the captain of Bafana Bafana one day. If you should ever come to Cape Town, please let me know. I would like to meet your son. Thank you "
