As Mr SA, Ntando would like to use his platform for advocating and providing access for underprivileged children to educational resources.
He continued: “My goal and cause during my reign as Mr South Africa and beyond will be to create a means of access to resources for children as early as Grade 1 to have access to the same or similar educational opportunities which I had which have resulted in access economic opportunities which can enable one not only to improve their life but that of others as well.
