Anza Tshipetane is an educationalist and social entrepreneur of note who has been named on both the 100 Nelson Mandelas of the future and 200 Mail and Guardian Young South Africans lists. Having attended public schools in rural areas all her life, she recognised the gaps and challenges that students like her had to overcome in order to reach their goals. This is why she started BYLI because she believed that quality education is a fundamental human right and should not be made a privilege. She works not only to ensure that students get quality education but that this education is meaningful to them and to their communities.
