Brains On The Go
- Where were you born?
Manzini, Swaziland.
- Where did you grow up?
I spent all my childhood, into my mid-teens in Tshaneni. My family then later moved to Mafutseni where we stay to this day. I also stayed in Simunye with my sister's family for a year in-between moving house. I kinda have a diverse background I guess.
- Growing up, what did you want to be?
Everything. Electrician, doctor, animation artist, cartoonist, chemical engineer..you name it, if it's cool I have, at some point, wanted to do it.
- Why are you on television?
I want to take over the world, so I figured starting with the media is a good way to go *evil laugh*
- Have you ever had any mishaps on air?
I've never been live on air before, but I've had a lot of mishaps while recording. Luckily for me, my producer is very understanding.
- What do you like the most about your job?
The creative freedom..I can do nearly anything I please.
- What makes you feel whole?
Only one thing can make a person truly happy, and that is love. From family, friends and most importantly, God.
- What do you dislike?
People who are not nice to others.
- What is the highlight of your life and career?
My career has just begun so, so far, everything is a highlight. In life though, the greatest thing to happen to me by far, is receiving the gift of salvation. My life has never been the same.
- What is your biggest fear?
My biggest fear is forgetting my roots.
- Which three words best describe you?
Loved, intelligent and misunderstood.
- What word/phrase would best describe Swaziland to you?
There is no place like home.
- What is the one thing you would love to do in your lifetime?
I'm too ambitious to aspire for one thing. If you could see half the things in my head..man oh man!!!

"Put God first and all else will fall into place."
