He plans to pursue a master’s degree in one of these fields after completing his undergraduate studies. “I enjoy being part of shaping communities into a better place, being on site when everything is still in pieces before building up to an amazing, beautiful struc- ture, and shaping the world with safe and cost-effecting structures that will improve people’s lives for the better,” says Alungile. He is also part of a youth development organisation called Against All Adversity which helps youth with their daily life problems and empowers them to reach their full potential. “I enjoy helping people because I believe that we can change the world to be a better place if one person can help the person next to him/her.” Alungile went on to thank SAICE for the platform it provides, saying he has benefited significantly from the workshops and mentorship programmes provided. Excited about winning the R10 000, Alungile says he will use the money to finish his code 10 drivers licence lessons that have been on hold for a long time and will put the remaining money into his savings.  Another happy quiz winner
