Team Members Part 1: Isimangaliso

For the sake of abantwana(the children), Ms Kasi and I will be introducing you to some of our colleagues on a weekly basis, my first choice was Smangaliso Mlambo, an inspiring team member and potential business partner, however that's a story for another day.

Smanga as he is affectionately known took some time out of his 'hectic' schedule and answered some of my questions. hope you enjoy. (this whole journalism thing might work, I think I missed my calling)

NM: What experience do you think the world will fly back with, after being on the African soil with the sounds of the vuvuzela’s on the sports fields?

SM: Well, Africa is called the mother land and soccer is called the beautiful game, this a combination of love and passion. Everyone coming to Africa will fill at home and at the same time experience the passion with style of our African fans *(very colorful) with vuvuzela blowing non-stop and singing shosholoza .

NM: How have you contributed in preparation of the FIFA 2010 World Cup?

SM: Since 23 July 2009 till now, I have contributed 90% of my time learning more about south Africa and visiting sites to ensure that I give good information to tourist that will be visiting our country during the FIFA 2010 World Cup.

NM: Describe your day in 15 words.

SM: The most important thing in every day of my life is to have fun and be happy in everything I do.*simple man* he sighs before he bursts into laughter.

you are probably tired of reading below is a picture of Smangaliso and the team he is working with from Thebe Exhibitions and Projects Group, they were working on the meetings Africa portfolio and they put on a brilliant event.
