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.
