Her tutoring classes are called Brainy Crescendos and they run after school, on Saturdays and during the holidays. Unemployed graduates are hired and trained, helping even further to reduce unemployment in Mzansi.

Briefly News had the opportunity to speak to the inspiring student and get some insight into what motivated her to do this.

“What motivated me to do this was to come to a realisation that education has always been a crisis even before pandemic, although most people did not have time to study that. Children who are supposed to be in school, aren't. For those who are, they mostly lack resources to provide adequate instruction.”

Maseja wants to allow everyone to put their best foot forward and get a tertiary education. Sometimes a little support is all an underprivileged child needs to know that they are capable and worthy.
