Born and bred in Ocean View, Earl became involved with a very “negative” group of people which led him to experiment with drugs and gangs. This lifestyle lasted 3 years which came to an abrupt end with the death of his best friend in 1998. This was a major turning point in Earl’s life which led him to turn his talents and potential to uplift those suffering from pain and despair within high-risk communities in South Africa by writing, planning and initiating empowerment programmes. Studying and researching various personal development modules further stimulated his decision to make a change in his life and in the lives of people on the Cape Flats and Township communities. His life coaching company acts as a consultant for PeaceJam Foundation (www.peacejam.org) , a Desmond Tutu and Dala Lama initiative for the past 7 years.

Earl Mentor realised that there is so much talent and potential on the Cape Flats and Townships that is untapped and unsupported. This untapped market is overwhelmed by joblessness, poverty and despair. In the face of so much negativity and hardship, it is hard to sustain hope and enthusiasm. However, his life coaching company i.e. CAPE FLATS KARMA™ believe in turning these lives around by being positive and enthusiastic to bring about positive change. Achieving racial equity in South Africa is the most important issue that CAPE FLATS KARMA ™ will tackle in the coming decade.
