'I know myself enough to know that school is probably going to bore me now,' Lasizwe reasoned.
Lasizwe Dambuza is making money off the alter egos he features in his vlogs and that's why he doesn't plan on going back to school.Reality TV star Lasizwe may have helped mobilise Mzansi to raise funds for students in need of funds for tertiary fees but he himself has no interest in returning to school.
On Wednesday, the #R10GoesALongWay campaign, spearheaded by Lasizwe reached its goal of raising R1m for the #FeesMustFall movement. Lasizwe expressed his gratitude to Mzansi for contributing to the worthy cause. Lasizwe told TshisaLIVE it was the students' passion for school that moved him to want to help them with fees but revealed he didn't think he would ever go back to school for a formal education, adding that he was content with the lessons and informal education he's received from the school of life.
“To be honest, I don’t plan on going back to school. I know myself enough to know that school is probably going to bore me now. I mean, school was tricky even then so I don’t want to waste money, especially when there are people that really want the chance to go to school but don’t have it.”“Right when I began my career, I was supposed to go to varsity but things didn’t work out and any chance I had to go was destroyed when my mother died.
“It [the fundraiser] is something that I wish somebody had done for me at the time, but back then I just gave up on going to school and hustled instead. I completely poured myself into making videos and hustling to get my social media career off the ground and luckily it worked out in the end.”
