Pick n Pay worker reflects on childhood dream

A South African man, Kwanele, who worked at Pick n Pay, touched many people when he reflected on his childhood dream. The chap had a dream of studying medicine overseas and sighed at where he found himself presently:

In 2020, he said:

“I’ll be top of my class, and I'll be on national television for my good results, and I'll be studying medicine overseas.”

He used an emoji to show his disappointment and then said five years later:

“Oh yeah buddy, we finished high school, but we are not studying medicine, rather we are working.”

Kwanele gave himself grace and kept a positive attitude:

“Oh, like you’ve always said, smile through everything. I will make you proud.”

He was a packer at Pick n Pay and seemed to enjoy his job. Kwanele recently left the retailer and shared his emotional farewell vlog on TikTok.

That was one of his favourite things. He spent a lot of time filming his day at work and posted the edited footage online. Kwanele’s audience appreciated his content on TikTok.
