“If He/She can Do it, I can Do It” is an initiative, aimed at inspiring people with disabilities to work hard in life. It kick-started on 7 September with Judge Mashile sharing his journey with learners from 12 schools for the Deaf and Blind and organisations that focus on the plight of people with different disabilities.
