Samthing Soweto details his struggles with reading and writing in school
Samthing Soweto has come out to share one of the difficulties that made going back to school after jail a lot more difficult that his fear of being outcast‚ his problem with reading and writing.
"People don't know this about me‚ but I have a problem (with) reading and writing‚ so school was really tough for me. It was a nightmare but I went back nonetheless."
He told Mo Flava on The Drive With Mo Flava and Masechaba Ndlovu that after he came out of juvenile jail‚ it took him a while to convince the people around him to trust that he was changing.
However‚ he knew that going back to school was one of the ways he aimed to prove that he was changing the direction of his life
"Finally‚ I matriculated‚ it was hard but I did it. I had to memorise a lot of the words and I'm constantly spelling things wrong. Even to this day‚ I have a real problem with that. If you read some of the things I write‚ you'll probably find a lot of mistakes in there."
The Akanamali hitmaker said even though the problem persisted past high school‚ it has taught him to listen more attentively.
