Samkelo Mhlophe, a Life Sciences and Physics teacher at Makhumbuza High School, uses TikTok to share lessons with pupils and parents.
Samkelo Mhlophe, 28, has garnered more than 1.6 million views for each of the two Life Sciences videos he has on TikTok.
"Posting videos on social media is about helping learners. TikTok is a huge platform, and learners can download videos. I didn't expect to have 1.6 million views. Thousands worldwide and in neighbouring countries have downloaded my videos. Some have asked for more videos and for me to upload more on YouTube. The more it trends, the more it helps people," he said.
"I find trending songs and change them into a lesson. If learners can have songbooks, they can memorise. What if I change a song into a lesson? Surely, they will remember it. According to Mhlophe, being a Grade 12 teacher is challenging. He said diversifying his teaching approach to accommodate the needs of all his pupils helped to achieve the quality of passes he wanted.Whatever works for one learner cannot work with all learners. As a teacher, you must self-introspect and ask what you do wrong or right. It is great that learners pass the subject, but how are they passing? Quantity versus quality is a huge issue.

World Honours the Remarkable Life and Music of Late Ethiopian NunEmahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou was an Ethiopian nun and pianist who gained worldwide recognition for her unique and deeply personal compositions. Her music reflected the different facets of her remarkable life and continues to inspire admirers around the world, even after her passing at the age of 99. Guèbrou gained renewed attention as she approached her centenary, with fans and music critics worldwide eagerly rediscovering her work. She was a source of fascination for connoisseurs, particularly following the 2006 release of a disc dedicated to her work in the iconic Ethiopiques series by Buda Musique, reports Ilana Webster-Kogen for The Conversation. Guèbrou lived a monastic life for decades, having moved to Jerusalem in the 1980s during a difficult period of military dictatorship under Mengistu Haile Mariam and never returning permanently to Ethiopia. She was known to continue to practice the piano in her room in the convent well into her 90s. Guèbrou's work is usually described as highly syncretic - drawing from a wide variety of musical sources - mostly non-Ethiopian references from the western and jazz canons. Critics point to her long improvisations and her free adoption of the tonal ranges that the piano can accommodate. No doubt, her gender and instrument influence this description. Women in Ethiopia are most often singers and dancers, not instrumentalists. If they do play an instrument, it is the krar, a six-stringed lyre on which they accompany their own singing.
