Born and bred in a mud hut in Kwazulu Natal
with no running water, electricity or formal schooling, GG
grew up in the local Zulu community and earned the name GG,
but that’s another long story.
Fluent in Zulu and conversant in most South
African ethnic languages GG is our creative & strategy guru as
well as founder of Minanawe.
His unique upbringing has given him the
ability to unearth unique insights and apply these to
marketing solutions.
Made famous (or notorious) in Rian Malan’s
book Resident Alien
(click here for article) GG has been at
times a shebeen owner, political activist, community worker
and African adventurer.
An early career in the music industry with
Sony BMG & EMI has left Mpho with an enviable network from
celebrities to gangsters! And now he works that network for
our clients … legally of course!
When Mpho is not working he’s cruising with
the Soweto bike club the Sopranos or you guessed it,
hobnobbing with the BEE set!
Larger than life Fats is the irrepressible MC
at the Soweto Beach Party, famous for keeping the crowds
rocking till the suns up.
He’s also our National Activations Manager
with incredible contacts across the land and a reputation for
successful activations as large as his giant frame!
