A KwaZulu-Natal matriculant who was recently awarded for helping his friend with cerebral palsy throughout his high school career, says he did so because “it is the right thing to do”.

Moyiso Radebe and his friend Mandlenkosi Mbatha, who has cerebral palsy, were both acknowledged recently by the provincial education department for their camaraderie and perseverance in completing matric.

Speaking a week after pushing his wheelchair-bound friend to the main stage at the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education awards, the Mzimela Senior Secondary School pupil said it was a proud moment. They were given a special award for their camaraderie and dedication to academics.

‘I was not going to just leave him’I remember when I saw him. I just thought I should go and help because he is a good innocent person. We all need a chance,” Radebe told News24 on Monday.

“When I first saw him, I knew that I needed to help him. He would struggle to do many things. I was not going to just leave him,” Radebe said.

“Him getting an award at provincial level is a dream come true. Helping him was always the right thing to do.”

‘He pushes me to be better’

Radebe said their friendship was a welcomed constant in his life.

“We have been friends for three years. I would help him with drinking and eating during the break time. I would also see him on weekends. I learned a lot from him.”

He said his friend was his greatest inspiration.

“The rest of us, we say we have a lot of problems we are dealing with, but that is not true. Mandlenkosi knows about life. He pushes me to be better.”

Radebe said their friendship grew in high school because they both had a passion for education.
