Meet Antonio Vannucci
Antonio Vannucci is a co-founder and driving force behind DPTSA, bringing personal experience, resilience and a deep commitment to disability inclusion. His own journey through disability has given him first-hand insight into the barriers many persons with disabilities face in accessing opportunities, employment and independence. Rather than allowing those challenges to define him, Antonio turned his experiences into a purpose: creating opportunities for others. Through DPTSA, he is committed to changing perceptions, opening doors and ensuring that persons with disabilities are recognised for their abilities, skills and contribution to South Africa’s workforce.
