With an unquenchable curiosity and a knack for creating solutions, Tunzi is exploring new territories and changing lives, using technology
Born in Dube, Soweto, and schooled at the nearby Ikwezi Primary School, Tunzi matriculated at Daliwonga Secondary School before heading off to TUT’s Soshanguve Campus. “There were a lot of people there and my strategy was that I wanted special attention at school and to develop a relationship with the teacher. If I had registered for IT I would not have got that,” he says.“There was an element of self-discovery because I discovered that I had always been interested in experimenting, even when I was interested in being a vet.”
When an opportunity from energy drink giant Red Bull came calling for people to submit applications for social innovations for an advanced incubation programme, Tunzi knew his idea would be relevant. Tunzi says the strength and biggest competitive edge of his innovation is in the use of AI to interpret the surroundings for the user.
Again with the misinformation. He states himself that he is improving upon current models. NOT inventing.
Hope he is safe in Cape Town.
