Mbali
Mzinyane is a 21-year old only child who was born in Johannesburg, and studies
at the University of Johannesburg, and has dreamt big all her life.
Initially
she wanted to study Bio-chemistry but fell in love with journalism instead. She
describes herself as a humble, down-to-earth kind of person. She was raised by
her mother all her life and describes that whole experience as tough. She had
to work hard and be strong which enabled her to be here today.
After
Matric, Mbali took a gap year to try and decide which career path she would
like to pursue. The following year enrolled in Bio-chemistry which she later
changed to journalism. Her mother was not happy at all.
She is a
part-time columnist for UJ Observer, an initiative was started this year
by the university. She’d like to see herself working for Elle magazine
in the not so distant future.
Mbali is
an industrious young woman who is passionate about journalism. She is a
well-organised and driven person who is inquisitive and she would really love
to see herself in a goal-oriented environment where personal growth is paramount.
I think
the industry needs such hard working and passionate people who truly comprehend
the whole concept of story-telling.
I also
think South Africa needs bright young people who can drive the country to
greater heights.
