Tell us about your Kids Haven story?
I was one of eight individuals whom matriculated in 2010 at Kids Haven. The opportunity that the Kids Haven Youth Development Programme (YDP) has given to me has been amazing.
I joined YDP not knowing that it can help develop my skills in the working world. I was chosen from the programme to identify what was important to me. This led me to receiving a contract from Denel Aerostructures. Which is a leading aerospace company in Africa, a power-house in aerospace design and advanced manufacturing. Providing me a chance to learn from those who have already achieved.

“My parents always wanted me to become a doctor…” Chris Hemsworth as James Hunt in the movie Rush directed by Ron Howard
Rush portrayed raw ambition in one of the best films of 2013*
Formula One is a sport that is filled with magic and a sense of showmanship that rivals no other. In the movie aptly titled Rush, it has now been acutely captured by the energy of Hollywood and the creative mind of Ron Howard. Howard always seems to go deeper into a story but not too deep that you get lost. In this case a historical genre piece gives him the opportunity to package a film and have a nicely wrapped up finish.
