"POV: You love your job..."

Teachers play a significant role in shaping students' success. But it's a two-way street – great teachers feed off their students' energy, creating a dynamic and engaging learning environment.
Ask anyone about their favourite teacher, and they'll likely name someone who stood out.
Right now, Sanele Gumede is making waves online with his inspiring teaching style, earning praise for his enthusiasm. Last year, Nqoh Mhlongo, a teacher from Tshwane, captured hearts across Mzansi with her lively and entertaining lesson on verbs.
Gumede recently shared a video of his lesson, where he turned a grammar lesson into an engaging, interactive experience.
Standing in front of his class with a Smart Screen board behind him, he led his students in a lively chant of "What is a verb?" – shouting, moving, and keeping the energy high.
The students were fully engaged, responding with enthusiasm – exactly what every teacher hopes to see.
It’s both inspiring and heartwarming to watch. Gumede is clearly bringing his A-game, making learning fun and leaving a lasting impression on his students.
