A young KwaZulu-Natal private pilot gave his peers a piece of good advice to achieve their dreams.

Asanda Njapha is from a small suburban village called Durnacol, in KwaZulu-Natal South Africa. His passion for the sky began at a very young age when he used to love looking at the night sky and being fascinated by the beauty of all the stars and planets.

This led to him wanting to be an astronaut to explore the sky. However, one night he saw a plane and his dream of being an astronaut took a turn. The young man considered being a pilot.

"I was looking up the night skies and saw a moving, flashing light, which was an aeroplane. From then, I started considering being a pilot so that I could one day be in one of those moving lights I always saw in the night sky."

Was the journey without hiccups?

In 2022, after finishing matric, the young man started his training towards being a pilot. He was excited about the journey. However, it didn't come without challenges. Njapha had to stay home for more than a year before resuming his studies. This was due to the lack of funding. To God be the glory, he made it at the end of the tunnel.

"My advice for anyone out the trying to make ends meet is to not give up, when you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot, and hang on. Do not let go."
