His most notable programme was one he ran in his hometown – the Emalahleni Young Leader Development Programme. This programme focused on the addressing the four main causes of university drop-outs. Using career development programmes and life-skill interventions, this programme assisted students from previously disadvantaged backgrounds, within Emalahleni, to be better prepared for university.

The programme not only increased pass rates in some of the schools that participated, but also assisted students in obtaining funding for their tertiary studies.

At the age of 23, Simon was asked to join the co-author team of the Oxford University Press, co-authoring the Grade 7 – 9 and 11 Life Orientation textbooks. This is mainly attributable to his unique perspective on life principles and his ability to translate them to young people. To date, the textbooks have sold more than 120 000 copies nationwide.

In 2015, Simon wrote his first book, ‘The Road to Varsity’ which is a university starter-kit that equips students with the skills that they need to make the transition from high school to university. He has shared the principles of the book with close to 10 000 young people with close to 8 000  copies sold.

In his current role, Simon Mtsuki speaks on a variety of platforms in the young leader development space. He works with private companies, state owned enterprises and professional bodies in furthering their young leader development objectives, both within and outside of their companies.
