His assistance includes providing advice and tuition to school children, training community tour guides, and mentoring local businesses on marketing and management. He has also been recognised outside the townships, winning several tourism awards, including Tourist Guide of the Year 2003 (Western Cape) and Best Tourist Guide in South Africa 2004.
