Despite her tender age, Lethukukhanya is exceptionally intelligent. At just 1 year old, she demonstrated an impressive ability to identify and name the months of the year.

ALBANY REACHES OUT
When pictures of Lethukukhanya trended, Albany reached out to the family and paid them a visit.

Speaking to The South African, Lungisani said that the branch managers brought with them blankets, lunch boxes and hampers that were enough to give to the other children in the area who often help him with his photography. Albany also bought a gas stove for Lungisani’s grandmother.
