Specific values are attached to a surname. The Makhathini values include faith, a strong sense of self, accountability, and honour.<\/p>\n<p>Minenhle, who was born in Johannesburg, doesn\u2019t know if he\u2019s related to the retired boxer Elijah \u201cTap Tap\u201d Makhathini. But he hopes he is. \u201cIf I asked my dad, he would say we are. He makes up the best stories to keep us entertained.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His dad, Thokozani, is \u201cfirm but full of life; he just ran the Chicago Marathon in sub three hours\u201d. His mom, Hlengiwe, who works in corporate finance \u201cis the same: living life to the fullest and committed to our happiness\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Minenhle says that being one of seven children has taught him strong people skills, how to communicate well and the importance of being considerate of others. No doubt, these are some of the traits that make him a popular, much-loved boy in the Hilton College community.<\/p>\n<p>Recently appointed leader of the community portfolio for 2023, Minenhle embodies Hilton College\u2019s values of humility, compassion, sensitivity and service.<\/p>\n<p>For him, humility is restrained power. \u201cAs a senior, humility is not stepping on the younger ones. It\u2019s earning respect rather than enforcing it; talking to the younger boys because you know how it feels to cry the first night at boarding school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He believes in using his privilege for good, giving to those who have less, and in building the \u201crainbow nation\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He says the ideal of a rainbow nation isn\u2019t dead, even if it\u2019s not much talked about anymore. \u201cSince democracy in SA, inequality has increased [such that] people have lost hope.\u00a0 When we have hope, we aren\u2019t bound by our status in society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Minenhle has high hopes for South Africa. And equally big plans.
