THABILE NGWATO MEDIA AND ADVERTISING
This year has been major for me – perhaps the most successful year of my life thus far. After it was announced that we won the bid for a Dstv news channel, Newzroom Afrika, which will launch in 2019, a good friend of mine reminded me how a few years ago I basically relayed to her my ambitions of being a media owner some day, and now it’s happening. It was then that I realised that nothing really happens by chance, we plant the seeds by speaking things into existence and go on to achieve that by putting in the work. For me, this should be a lesson that we can all be what we truly want to be.
As much as the concept of success is relative, for me, it’s living up to my greatest potential. The ultimate success is truly being the best version of myself. I honestly don’t know what the future holds, because I have truly surpassed where I had hoped to be at age 28, but this is only the tip of the iceberg.
