Eighteen years ago, Mamelodi produced a dynamite that would prove to be a gift to the world. Now the dynamite has blown up internationally, winning awards and speaking to massive global audiences. This is the inspiring story of Neo Cholo, the owner of public relations and marketing company, African Neo Media. The author and entrepreneur’s company profiles creatives and organisations to promote their work internationally. She also has a philanthropic side. As founder and chairperson of Teens with Vision CBO, Cholo focuses on creating poverty-free communities through food-relief programmes, dignity packs and educational outreach initiatives. As a contribution to the plight of women, he has also founded Mosetsana Feminine, which owns Mosetsana Pads and is involved in youth-empowerment programmes. Cholo has received a Future Leader Award in Kenya and was African Achiever in Nigeria, among others. He is studying towards his BCom in marketing management.
