I am a 30 year old South African passionate about bringing social and economic change within my country... .

Following my vision has paid off in my path of self –discovery. As a black kid from the streets of Mdantsane Township in the Eastern Cape. I’ve always prepared myself in becoming what most peers in my neighbourhood aspired to be. God blessed me with an ability to embrace my dreams and aspiration and everything I do I’m serving God through hard word , faith and hope is my small way of serving God.

For the last few years I have been learning and teaching myself the art of building sustainable business and managed to train myself to be more focus on technology and communication tools. I always wanted to start my own business instead of becoming another unemployment statistic.

I have also embraced innovation of new idea/ concept and story telling. I always believed that no idea is too small, no idea is dumb and no idea is too big for that matter. it is the mindset that has made me to be able to develop award winning concepts while making profit. Some of the skills that comes with being an innovator or social entrepreneur , artist is to be able to distinguish the way things are. “Innovators are’t just innovative about products. They are innovative about every aspect of their lives. They don’t live their lives the way everyone does and so they don’t honestly fit in well”. Maria Bartiromo.

My strongest blessing and biggest challenge at the moment is being able to embrace being dyslexic while others might shy away from this disability. I speak of it, I acknowledge it and I tackle it head on by constantly reading, training my mind while gathering tremendous wisdom.

With school of life education background formal and informal, coaching and mentorship, different work experience and different business venture and achievements these has given birth to a dynamic, streetwise entrepreneur with all these skills.

I started my entrepreneurial journey straight after high school with a tiling business in Eastern Cape where I grew up from a one man business to 12 people. I created a strategy to deploy my staff to own their own tiling business (some started, others chose to work for ceramic retailers like CTM and Tile Africa).

Two years later I found my true calling and niche  - an ability to develop a brand and develop systems to channel through my branded products. The MARA brand a lifestyle brand which took me to Paris, France. I learned more about global business and I won the ABSA national award 2001.

In 2004 I made a big move to Gauteng where I pursued a business career in publishing. In 2005 the birth of Gulova comic (a division of MARA). This was MARA’s evolution move, which took both the 2006 Regional award and 2007 National award from the SAB Kick-start competition.

 In 2009 I incepted Keep Digging (KD). For several years I have been gathering means and ways of sustaining myself through entrepreneurship. After so many years of trial and error, (loss and making money, failing and succeeding) in business and learning from my mentors the academic way of running sustainable business and hands on business learning from people encountered along.
Keep Digging (KD) was establishing at difficult times, its entry point into a market is its publication KD Mag focusing in area of innovation, creative thinking, ethical leadership and social entrepreneurship.
