‘Be the light that brings hope to others’ – Kagiso Modupe as daughters head back-to-school

This week we began making way for all scholars as they begin to encounter on their back-to-school journey.

As we have all come to know, this time tends to be quite an emotional and overwhelming time for not just your children as they begin to enter these spaces, but it also becomes an emotional encounter for many parents as well.

Taking to Instagram to pen a heartfelt prayer as his daughters’ head back to school is multi-award-winning film and TV producer, actor and director, Kagiso Modupe. The father of three dedicated these words to his daughters:

“A special shout out to @tshimollomodupe on your first day in High School ???????❤️To God be the glory for providing us with the wisdom to raise our children with Love and Humility. We pray for your Protection over them and their new journey, may you surround them with friends and teachers that will contribute positively in their lives.”

He further continued with his prayer asking, “May you bless my children with the wisdom to be the light that brings hope to others around them. Let them strive to always leave a positive impact on those they interact with. Deep inside them Plant the spirit of Leadership, Compassion, Fun, Love, Bravery, Culture, Humility, Respect, Perseverance, but most of all for them to know that You are God and without there are no possibilities. Bakwena Bana Balona Kebao?.”

Kagiso concluded his captions by reminding them of the profound meanings of their names that they should always strive to aspire to.

“Motheo wa Botlhale Modupe, never forget to be the foundation of wisdom wherever you go.?. Tshimollo ya BOTSHELO Modupe, Always be the beginning of all this beautiful in Life. ?”
