Nqayi biggest dream is to become a radio presenter. Intle Nqayi joined the Scenic Drive with Rian to talk about the rare condition and her future plans and dreams. 

"I received training at Bush Radio. I want to do so many things. I still want to do radio, but I also want to do music and maybe law. I've been blind my whole life, and when I imagine the sun I imagine it to be something big and shinny."

"My hearing is very strong. The most beautiful sound to me is the sound of a piano and a violin."

"I don't mind that I'm blind. I've accepted it and I'm a happy person. There are times when I wish to see."
