Siviwe Dlukwana - Director and Founder

Siviwe was born in Crossroads in 1992. Unlike most of his peers, Siviwe was able to attend a secondary school for high-performing learners. This opportunity changed the trajectory of his life. Out of the 250 learners he attended primary school with in 1998, he was one of only two to make it to university.

On 16 December 2003, Siviwe's brother was killed in a violent gang incident in Crossroads. Siviwe believed his brother's death could have been avoided if he had good role models and a better education. Part of why he started ILB was to save other families from going through the same loss and pain.

Siviwe started ILB to enable children from Crossroads to access high quality education and job opportunities. He believes that together we can have a positive impact on our communities and our country.

“When I joined ILB my marks were so low that I was worried about making it to the next grade. The tutors took the time to answer all of my questions and my marks really improved. I’m no longer intimidated by the hard work that it takes to learn new things!”

Yanga Giliba, Zola Business School

“The tutors at ILB are great. They are committed to us and understand where we come from. After one term, I went from earning a 65% to earning an 80%, which helped me gain the confidence to reach higher and expect more from myself.”

Athule Manana, Sinethemba Secondary School
