Using career development programmes and life-skill interventions, this programme assisted students from previously disadvantaged backgrounds, within Emalahleni, to be better prepared for university.

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.
