According to the Queen’s Young Leaders website, Siposetu was chosen “in recognistion of the work she is doing to develop new ways to end the stigma that surrounds albinism in South Africa.”
Thamsanqa was honoured on the night for developing a portable battery-operated shower head which heats up water called the “Hot Nozzle”.
“As a result, he was recognised by the African Innovation Foundation as one of the top ten young innovators in Africa,” the site explains.
