Iintanga zakhe ziqhumisa uthuli zidlala imidlalo eyohlukeneyo ezitalatweni kodwa uLitha Mayiya yena uhleli nephepha nepensele. Hayi akabhali koko umaxhaphetshu uyazoba. Ledyongwana ineshumi elinesine leminyaka isidla amazimba kodwa imizobo yayo iyamangalisa. Waqala ukuzoba enesixhenxe seminyaka ubudala. Loka Mayiya ungumfundi kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo iID Mkhize nezinze eGugulethu kweli leKapa, nalapho enza khona uGrade 8.
Kungokunje uLitha ufumene inkxaso engagungqiyo yokufumana izixhobo zokuzoba isithuba esingangonyaka nangaphezulu. Oku kulandela emva kokuba ushomashishini umnumzana uLee du Preez nomgumnini wenkampani iBEEnovation ebone umbhalo kwikhasi leTwitter obhalwe ngulowo ungutishalakazi nongumncedisi kaLitha unkosikazi Nompumelelo Rakabe.
Oka Du Preez uthi emva kokuba ebone lombhalo khange alale buhlayo ngelifuna ukuzama ukunceda le nkwenkwana ngelithi khange amangaliswe kuphela sisakhona sakhe sokuzoba koko imkhumbuze ngaye njengomntu ongusomashishini ukuba akwazi ukunikela kwabo badinga uncedo ngelithi naye ekulendawo akuyo kungenxa yenkxaso awayifumana kwabanye abantu.
Kungokunje alukho luzizi iphupha likaLitha kwizifundo zakhe zobuchweli bembali (iArt History ngesiNgesi). Loka Mamiya wathengisa umzobo wakhe wokuqala kumhlali welizwe laseScotland ngonyaka ka2015 ngethuba wayeneshumi elinesibini leminyaka ubudala.
Ngomhla wesine kule yeDwarha ngethuba benomboniso wemisebenzi abayenzileyo kuphindwe kwathengwa umzobo wakhe ngusodolophu kwisixeko esimbaxa saseKapa unkosikazi uPatricia de Lille. Ukanti eminye imizobo yakhe ikhe yaboniswa kwiziko lemidlalo yeqonga iArtsCape Theatre eKapa.
Uvakalise uchulumanco ngalenkxaso unina kaLitha uNosipho Mayiya ngelithi unyana wakhe waqala ukuzoba ngokumane ebukela ipopayi kumabonakude.
Isakhono sokuzoba sikaLitha sikhule ngakumbi emva kokudibana notishalakazi uNompumelelo Rakabe nosebenzela umbutho ongekho phantsi kolawulo lukarhulumente iProject Playground nephuhlisa ulutsha ngezakhono zokuzoba kwindawo zabangathathi-ntweni. iProject Playground ikho kwingingqi ezintathu kwaLanga, eSamora Macheal naseGugulethu.

Ukanti uLitha uthi ngenye imini unqwenela ukuba abe nendawo yakhe egcine imizobo yaye ayithengise kubemi beli loMzantsi Afrika nakubathengi abaphuma kumazwe ngamazwe.
