“After moving back to the township, when my children were doing their homework, I realised that the other children were not doing theirs.
“When I asked why, they told me that they were not given homework by their teachers. This bothered me. I then decided to take it upon myself to revise some of their schoolwork with them.”

The 34-year-old takes pride in helping the students improve themselves and has garnered a reputation for her kind and thoughtful gesture:
