PROFILE people and my favourite - shopping (chuckles). I like eating, but I don’t eat a lot. Oh, I love meat by the way … Facebooking and taking pictures. Duane: Mainly what I do for fun is gym. From time to time I do martial arts when I’m home. I write novels, but just for the fun of it. I spoil my fiancé. I like working with computers, which is more of a passion. I like learning Japanese. Generally, I enjoy making people laugh. x, r: Ory rke Ba in Mr nce, n ri ane w Du d he irst P lace i di he F st p ly s t r i n fi ss t on No t now ly wo usine bu ecent DC B tion r E eti and the omp C Q: What is your favourite television series? Marilyn: I don’t really have one. But I like Real Husbands of Hollywood. When it comes to animations, it would be: SpongeBob Squarepants, Powerpuff Girls, Phineas and Ferb (laughs), I love it and Winx. Duane: I mostly like anime, but series I do enjoy watching is Arrow. Also Continuum, which is an action show about time travel. Animations will be Fairly OddParents and Dexter’s Laboratory. Q: Your favourite quote Marilyn: “Every successful person has a story to tell” heard it while I was in High School – meaning: no person just gets to the top; they have to start somewhere, at the bottom. A lot of things happen between the bottom and the top. Duane: “Talk is cheap, money buys the whiskey, but shut up and get rich” got it from my dad. What it means: “you have to be quiet, observe what’s going on around you and work”. Rather than talk big things that you can do, but none of your actions prove it.

Q: Least favourite module Marilyn: PSDT (Professional Skills Development) “I just don’t see why it has to be a requirement” I had Life Orientation in high school, so if I compare PSDT and things we did in Life Orientation, it’s the same thing. Duane: For me it’s two: Statistics, I hate it. And Economics… Q: Success is… Marilyn: Inner peace – “Going to sleep every single night with peace in your heart”, whether you achieved what you wanted to or not, but because you’ve made peace with it. Duane: Being able to see other people being happy because of what you’ve done – “I never cared about making a lot of money, as long as the people in my life are happy, that’s all I need.” Q: Your role model Marilyn: A lady I met in some church I was visiting, her name is Glory. She is a down-to-earth, beautiful lady; I like how she dresses (laughs). Then, Shareen Shabangu, a friend of mine from High school, she was my senior in high school. We have a lot in common… Duane: “This will seem a bit corny” but it’s my mother – she raised me to be to an honest person, even after she passed on, she had taught me all the things I needed to know, even now she is still my role model. My brother-in-law, I respect him for all he does. Workwise, the person I look up to is my father – his determination and hard work I will always respect. l rea he fe... h t s li wit i ne in h ws) a Du cess aww n Pri ueue (Q Student 24/7 - 25
