Nomzamo Mbatha has taken to her social media to share a throw back photo of herself as she joins the “GirlUpChallenge”.
In her post, the star revealed the picture was taken when she was a little cheerleader for the Red House during sport day in school and she was “Bold”.
“LOL, I was a little cheerleader for RED HOUSE during Sports Day at school when this picture was taken. I look at this little girl and I remember how big she dreamed. How BOLD she was… Who would’ve thought that from a small little corner in South Africa, that little smile would be where it is now… “
Nomzamo said her teachers opened her eyes to the reality of how important education can be and since then, she has kept her promise.
“If it were not for my teachers who saw the bright light before I realized it, if it were not for the books that kept me Dreaming and imagining… I don’t know how life would look like right now. Education gave me the power to dream. The audacity to dare even greater. Dear 10 year old Zamo, I have kept my promise. You gave me the courage and I will never let go of it,” Nomzamo stated.
The star urge other girls to join the challenge by posting a throwback photo of when they were a fearless kid who was ready to take on the world.
She concluded: “On International Day of the Girl, I challenge you to get involved in the #GirlUpChallenge! Post a throwback photo of when you were a fearless kid ready to take on the world. Use the hashtag #GirlUpChallenge and pass it along to 10 loved ones. Let’s support girls’ education and unite girls around the world.”
