Born Sphesihle Thobani Khumalo, 13th August 1997 – Thobani Africa is an epitome of “Many things in one”. A Chartered Accountant and prominent businessman in the making, an aspiring Television and Radio Presenter and a fashion and commercial model are just a few of the things you can describe or associate him with. However, when asked to describe himself, he will most probably utter “MAJESTIC”.

Brought to Johannesburg, the land of hustlers, at the age of 2 – Thobani grew up as a bubble of energy, with an endless supply of drive, passion and dedication to being the best in everything he does and touches. Only two things could have built him up like that, either he was born with it or the Jozi bug bit him too early in his childhood.

After 11 years(yes 11 not 12) of formal schooling, he decided to move to the fanciest corner of Africa, the mother city itself, to further his education. Here he studies Bcom Financial Accounting for CA(SA) and CFA(SA) qualifications. Thobani’s choice of study was mainly influenced by his love for business and entrepreneurship. He believes life shouldn’t take one path ever, which explains why he joined UCT Radio in his first year. Under the guidance of the likes of Mark Akol, Duncan Patrick and Nikesh Ramesar,he presented his very own controversial and provocatively daring show “The Damn Thing”. In his second year he broke into the world of Modelling and has appeared in a couple of Inter-African adverts and catalogs.

Thobani Africa has always been fascinated by all things Pro-African and holds perspectives and his own theories about its sociology. He dreams of running his own socio-economic development projects throughout the continent.
