Thembalethu Seyisi

Thembalethu Seyisi is a law student at Stellenbosch University who turned 21 on 2 December 2020. Instead of a conventional celebration, he decided to do something more creative and useful for his birthday: Compile a book of essays about life lessons aimed at empowering and inspiring young people. Themba asked 21 successful people he admires – some high-profile people and some personal heroes – to share one life lesson or insight they wish they had known at 21.

All profits from sales of 21 Life Lessons @ 21 will be donated to three charitable causes: #HelpNatashaGraduate, #ALSgaanOKwees and #Action4Inclusion.
