stepping stones towards success in life

Most youth spend twelve or more years in school. That's a very long time. How ready are you for success in life when you finish school, whether it's in a job or running your own business? How often do you use math and science in real life? Or biology, chemistry, and geography? At Nemato Change a Life you learn practical skills that contribute to success in life.

Hatched Ensemble (27 June)

The dramatic death of the artist Vuyo Raymond Matinyana in 2001 ultimately led to the birth of Nemato Change a Life. Now, 22 years later, Vuyo's friend Mamela Nyamza invited Nemato to the premiere of her new dance "Hatched Ensemble" at the National Arts Festival in Makhanda. The performance was a powerful and emotional experience, and it brought back memories of Vuyo's passion for the arts and his commitment to social justice.
