Sandisiwe Mdluli (15) aka Sandi was one of the fortunate few in the Transnet Orphans Programme that actually, for the first time, flew in to Johannesburg for the Life Skills Workshop. “An amazing experience,” she exclaims. “I was a bit stressed by the possibility of a crash, but also excited and couldn’t sit still. At take-off, it was scary but fun and my tummy started turning, but I soon relaxed and enjoyed the ride. I surely can do it a million times,” she explains.
