Thandwefika

Professionally, Thandwefika is an experienced SAP Consultant specialising on Digital Adoption strategies. He has helped businesses such as Anglo American, BHP Billiton and SASOL guide their employees through large scale system changes. Thandwefika is also an award-winning storyteller, whose work has earned him the title of Toastmasters Southern Africa Champion of Public Speaking 2019. Through his travels, he has sought and heard the many stories of ordinary Africans. These stories have had such an impact on him that he has come to believe that all Africans should travel their continent first. This has led him to cofound and chair Hadithi Ya Africa, an organisation that owns and administrates the biggest storytelling contest in Africa, and creates immersive excursions to numerous African countries. Through his touring company called Come Meet Africa, Thandwefika is on a crusade to make African travel more accessible to Africans so that they can tell their own story of Africa.

When the event in my story happened, it was such a profound moment for me. I literally stood on the road for moments, with goosebumps on my body, thinking about what had just happened.

Tshifiwa reminisces on the day he met his ultimate crush in a downtown restaurant. He describes the moment as being revived back to life after being seemingly numb for years. A beautiful tale of love and how we can find it in the most least likely places.

I have observed that there is too much moral decay in our African society, we need to promote positive behaviours. I strongly feel that my story is unique and that most young people can learn something out of it. It’s not about the money, but I really want my story to be heard in the whole of Africa.
