  • My mother was a primary school teacher and I went to the school she taught at for the first year of my schooling career. Kama primary in Kwazakhele township. She was so well respected by staff and kids alike because she was kind. Firm ... but always genuinely kind and caring.
    I have had teachers like this and they REALLY stand out! They make all the difference in a kid's life because lets face it ... childhood is often so confusing! Our impulses as children are often shut down or made to be wrong, creativity can often be stifled and !worst! who we are at our core can often be called into question. So when myself and Aron Ha'Levi were commissioned by Standard Bank through Shikaya Learning Trust to write a song celebrating those special teachers that go the extra mile we jumped at the chance. We went into several staff rooms all over the Western Cape and surprised teachers with a live rendition of the song as a gift. It was frikkin awesome! I'll never forget the appreciation and warmth of these teacher to whom we were expressing true appreciation. We captured some of their responses here. Thank you to all the teachers who care.
    Please enjoy ... All Because of You.
    love

    My 4 year old absolutely loves you so much! And so do I. We found your music and your angelic voice from your Catch A Falling Star video. She listens to it every single night and I hold her in my arms while I look into her beautiful eyes. That song has become a very special part of our lives ALL BECAUSE OF YOU. Wishing you the best, with love, kindness and falling stars, T and S.

    This song just took me back and brought me to tears...and remembered When my Grade 12 English class teacher told me in 1993 that I was destined for greatness, to fly higher than the skies and to stay forever young cos that was her favorite song too😂, i never understood what she ment until my life became exactly what i had envisioned for myself then it clicked and finally understood what she meant...see, I was an introvert child mainly cos i struggled academically and didnt realize what was causing my struggles then, cos i studied as much even twice a such...i was smart, talented and focused yet i lagged behind academically and that kind of chipped me a bit but i never gave up cos my teacher and my mom saw something in me that i never was able to figure out and that was ambidextrous dyslexia that i had which basically means i was able to diminantly use both hands equally yet read backwards accurately, i thought i was handicapped, something was wrong with me, not realizing i was actually gifted and i was an extraordinary smart person who just struggled to articulate normally but i didnt let it define me, over the years ive been able to function with it and beat it dramatically...looking back also i was actually a popular introvert in high school but didn't understand how was that even possible, but i guess people saw greatness within me, in restrospect, it was a blessing in disguise for me cos had i known and realized that i probably would have been an arrogant prick like some people i know 😂had turned out to be... Today, i live in New York, i travel the world and im a medical Doctor in America...so to To Mrs Raven out there from Pinetown Girls high school class of 1993...Thank u and a big thank u to my Mom also whom i love dearly from eMlazi. This song is just so appropriate to many of us who have beat the odds... Thank u Zolani... Beautiful song

    I love this song. So decided to share the lyrics here :
    ALL BECAUSE IF YOU.
    All the words in the world wouldn't tell you
    All the money you never could spend in
    You deserve all the praise in the world
    'Cause it's all because of you
    I could stand on the middle of me, yeah
    I could speak about all I believe in
    All your patience you won't understand it
    It made me who I am
    All because of you
    I can make my dreams come true
    Because of you
    I am open to the world
    All because of you
    I'm strong inside of me
    'Cause of you, uh...
    I can see I truly see now.
    We have come to you so open hearted
    Thanking you who always pushed us the hardest
    To be the best we can be, look at me now
    It's all because of you
    Take this words that we offer in kindness
    To say your name it would always remind us
    To be corageous and free and in honest possibilities
    All because of…

I'm going into Biology/Education and there is nothing I would rather do than be there for others as a teacher, mentor, and friend. This song, even if it's for just this moment, makes me truly feel that this is the path for me. Thank you for being so kind! Be kind to yourself too
