Born in the quiet village of Go-Rramolifi in the Northwest province, Moses Legodi’s journey has taken him from humble beginnings to becoming a dynamic force in film, podcasting, farming, and community development. Now based in Rand West City, Moses serves as an executive board member of the local arts council and leads multiple creative ventures under Legodi Group Holdings, founded in 2014. Driven by the untapped potential he witnessed in his community, Moses created platforms for young people to shine. Through short films, skills training, and a podcast tackling social issues, he gives a voice to the voiceless. His publication, Ulead Magazine, tells untold stories, while the Rand West Fashion Festival + Food &. Music initiative showcases local talent in fashion, beauty, and the arts. “My inspiration comes from African stories and individuals driving change,” he says. “It hurt to see young people wasting their gifts on drugs or crime. I wanted to create alternatives.” Despite setbacks—like losing sponsors for his music awards—Moses remains steadfast. He credits prayer, resilience, and a passion for youth empowerment for keeping him going. His podcast has gained traction by interviewing both everyday heroes and high-profile personalities, bridging gaps between ordinary communities and the broader public sphere. Moses holds qualifications in filmmaking, leadership, mining, and entrepreneurship. His core values—honesty, integrity, respect, hard work, and humility—guide everything he does. He hopes his journey inspires others to act. “Start now,” he urges young changemakers. “A journey of a thousand miles begins today.” Moses Legodi is proof that when you uplift others, you grow with them—and that real change begins with telling our own stories.
