Born in Lesotho and raised in South Africa, the fashion designer credits the success of her business to the popular African saying: 'motho ke motho ka bathu', (a person is a person because of others). She shares that she's grateful for the media platforms that featured her work, which launched her break when she started out.
She believes in making timeless fashion by telling a story behind each design and using it as a tool to celebrate African heritage.

The fashion designer advises that to build your success story, you have to put yourself out there, research as much as you can and do as much training as possible through business incubations.

Fourteen years later, Makhetha-Kwinana knows a thing or two about the highlights and challenges of running a business. She has showcased her fashion range on international runways, including in Canada, Italy and the UK.

She's also reeling in excitement about her recent collaboration with CTM and shares how it has been a wild and adventurous transition from designing fashion to ceramics with the tile company.

The wife and mother of two is based in Cape Town but has recently opened her store in Soko District in Rosebank, Johannesburg. She has so much she aims to achieve as a person and as a brand, including creating a generational legacy for her family.

She has always been creative and has taken part in dramatic art, as she enjoys being on stage. As a straight-A pupil, her parents frowned upon her request to study at the National School of the Arts, as she had already secured a bursary to attend another high school. Being told to find her own bursary to study at the arts school propelled her to take the initiative to reach her goals. She won her bursary with a washing brand, which funded her. The presenter then got her first TV presenting job on SABC 3, which paid for the rest of high school and even matric dance. Ayanda knows the value of hard work, as she does not come from a family of wealth. Radio pursued her, as she was scouted to be part of Y, while she was doing her degree in 2013. Ayanda then moved to 947 in 20
17 for a couple of years before she moved back to Y's drive-time show. She moved back to the youth station, this time as a bigger sister to other colleagues and her listeners.
Her background in psychology helps her connect with her listeners through the conversations she has on the show and at events she speaks at.
Ayanda also believes in the power of mentorship to help one navigate their path to success. In essence, she embodies her MVP status as she rises to the top of her career.

When his mom passed away in 2011, he met his bandmates and formed the Muffinz. When the group was sound-checking on the four songs it made. Keke started singing words even he didn’t understand, but only identified after the group released its hit song, Sound Check, as his spiritual language. He says he knows Africans relate to his music and lingo because they are spiritual beings.
The singer decided to go solo in 2020 to tell his personal story and share his growth. His debut single, Khonza, featuring Ami Faku, is dedicated to his late mother. Keke emphasised the power of believing in yourself and in your dreams to succeed in life. He said had he given in to his loved ones’ insistence to apply for ‘real jobs’, he says we wouldn’t have known or been healed by his music. When it comes to fame, the singer insists that although he’s the vessel or transport through which he delivers his music, he wants his work to be more known and renowned. In the podcast, he bares it all, the challenges, the highlights, his family and his latest EP, Pula, which was released a few months ago.
