Cape Town - Instead of having a 21st birthday bash, Thembalethu Seyisi from Fish Hoek decided to do something more meaningful to inspire and motivate young people.
Seyisi turned 21 on December 2 and the third-year law student at Stellenbosch University had more than one reason to celebrate. Not only did he pass his exams on his birthday, but he also received the first print copy of the book he compiled,
21 Life Lessons @ 21.
“I wanted to do something productive and meaningful for my 21st birthday, so I decided to pay it forward. I came up with the idea to compile a book that would inspire and motivate young people,” he said.
