To proactively contribute to building a vibrant, educated, progressive, and prosperous South Africa by empowering the talented future leaders from disenfranchised communities, who [despite their talents but without such intervention] would otherwise never have a fair fighting chance in life, by the socio-economic divide and spatial fragmentations of the present-day South Africa.
