A crash course in changing the world.
By: Gcobani Qambela
mnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, where do I start? This man is proof of what a black boy/man can achieve when he/she sets their mind to something. He diffuses the myths that a black man can only be a kwaito star or soccer star in (South) Africa.
His both sporting and academic achievements are really nothing less of exemplary! He is completing his studies in Development Studies at Oxford University, and soon heads to complete his MBA at Harvard University. His story is that of my "South African dream" for Africa's youth. That we will overcome the shallowness and passiveness that seems to be so pervasive amongst many of Africa's youth.
Nhlanhla is also one of the Conference on Leadership in Africa's "Young African Leaders" (YAL) as part of the Young African Leaders Series for which I am the Chairperson and Project Manager for YALS.
I will be adding Nhlanhla on facebook as soon as we publish his profile on the website and facebook page for CoLiA (Dont want people to think I am being favourist ;-).
I will through having him as a contact through facebook and LinkedIn (hopefully) be able to moniter his path to greatness, lessons from which I will draw into my own life and hopefully he can help me grow to me more of what God wants me to be.
for those that do not know Nhlanhla; here is a very interesting artcicle about him: http://www.joburg.org.za/content/view/1989/168/
