Anovuyo Nqweniso is from Burgersdorp and is a learner at Ethembeni Secondary School. She joined MOT in 2022 and, in 2024, was selected to become a Young MOTivator.
A Young MOTivator is a young person who has completed the MOT programme and is chosen for their positive attitude, courage, and leadership qualities. They play an important role as peer role models, helping to spread MOT’s values of the Courage to Live, the Courage to Care, and the Courage to Say No.
Here is Anovuyo’s MOT story:
My name is Anovuyo Nqweniso, I’m from Burgersdorp, and I’m a learner at Ethembeni Secondary School. I joined MOT in 2022.
Through MOT, I have learned that no matter how difficult a situation may be, you should never give up. Failure does not define who you are. I’ve learned not to give up on myself or blame myself when things don’t go as planned.
MOT has taught me to be my own inspiration, to fight for myself, and to grow into a young woman who feels confident and secure in who she is. MOT has helped me show courage, and I truly appreciate that.
My wish is for all young people to have the courage to believe in themselves and to be proud of who they are.
We are incredibly proud of Anovuyo and the journey she has taken with MOT. Her courage, determination, and belief in herself reflect the very heart of our programme. As a Young MOTivator, she inspires her peers to rise with confidence and to embrace the values of living with courage, caring for others, and making wise choices.
Congratulations, Anovuyo, we celebrate you as our Youth Blogger of the Month!
