The soft-spoken Khumalo, who looked snazzy in a tie, said he joined the taxi industry while he was still very young because he wanted to put something on the table for his family.

The 28-year-old driver from Estcourt, KwaZulu-Natal, recently graduated with a bachelor degree in education from the University of South Africa.

Khumalo, who works between Sunninghill and Ivory Park in Midrand, Johannesburg, used his earnings to pay for his studies."I enrolled at Unisa in 2015 and I had to take care of my siblings as well. I only managed to study when I was 'binding' . I would dedicate three hours a day to study and it was not difficult at all because I am a focused person," he said.
