Growing up in the apartheid regime, I was indoctrinated by my elders to be racist. In addition, my father physically and psychologically abused me, which crippled me with mental afflictions for life. After school, I completed mandatory two years National Service and became a platoon leader. Working in the computer industry after the army, I achieved many certificates in my quest to become a successful business man. However, along the way I became addicted to crack cocaine, had several close escapes from death, attempted suicide a few times and ended up dealing and smuggling drugs overseas. Inevitably I was caught and served a four-year prison sentence in Europe. Rehabilitating myself, I studied through the open university while incarcerated and achieved a one-year certificate in Social Science as well as a two-year diploma, Environmental Policy in an International Context. Married to a beautiful woman from Eastern Europe, I am now living in England and we are raising a wonderful boy. To provide for my family, I have managed to secure and progress a stable career in a relatively recession proof industry.lihat lebih sedikit
