There are few individuals who maintain a standard high enough to ensure their success, and also ensure their ability to say i the end, that ‘it is finished, I have done all I came to do...’ Phumulani is a principled young man whose value goes beyond hitting the billionaire status (which he soon will) but he is passionate about people, as he put it, identifying people’s pain and illuminating it.

RATIBA ISRAEL MOHALE So who is Ratiba? He is a young man passionate about community development and anything that involves impacting the youth, because young people are the future, this is through working on their perspectives and looking at what impact they will have on the country and growing their impact in this world. His work is not limited to gender but expands to every young person, some describe him as an ally for women empowerment and some a feminist. On a day to day he is knowledgeable in the field of Geology and works for Bloom marketing as a digital account executive. Having shared with me his grand passion for the youth, I was curious to know how he incorporates that into his daily life. This is what he had to say; YOU CAN NEVER PRETEND TO BE SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT. The first thing is living out who you are. Mostly what I do as I have quite a reach on social media platforms, I daily put out a positive message, it is not a job per se, it comes from within and...

God saw that it was not good for man to be alone, he then caused the man to sleep and took out his rib and thus formed woman and presented her to him and he said this is now bone of my bones, flesh of my flesh. Adam identified his one and knew it was her and not another. We see this as the genesis of what we call marriage, a union created by God for His glory. In order to understand the dynamics of this institution and set us young people up to get it right, I had to have a conversation with Thee Mhlonitshwa Nkala, yes good people Thee, this is the only certified Mhlonitshwa Nkala. He describes himself as a young man who is vibrant for Christ & raising awareness. This young man is not only passionate about Christ he is also an Economist and an aspiring Entrepreneur. He then went on to introduce us to the VIP code, this is something he lives by. It represents Vision & Values; Integrity, Identity & Inspiration; Purpose, Power & Passion. All these feed in...

It is a rare occasion to come across one whose passion supersedes their appearance yet also even more in their articulation such that the words you constantly read by them suddenly come to life. When we finally spoke Lebo expressed that now that we have spoken it all seems so real now. I had no idea what I was in for but rest assured all of you reading this shall clearly see what a treasure this conversation turned out to be particularly to inspire you. So who is LeboLion, Is lion her actual surname? She laughed when I asked this and expressed that it’s an alter ego (a powerful one I must say), making reference to how Queen B (not Bonang), Beyonce calls herself Sasha fierce, hence Lebo Lion. This made me think of how important it is to take care of the perspectives we have of ourselves, imagine if she had called herself Lebo dove, Lebo ant, that would have directly played into the approach she takes into things. A lion is the king of the jungle and below you will see how Leb...
