True hero honoured at Men's Health Awards


Last night I attended the Men's Health Best Awards in Kyalami, it was really a night of glitz and glamour. There were all kinds of people who graced the occassion to honour men that have excelled in their chosen field.

With all due respect to the winners, my highlight of the night was when a man that I have known for a year was awarded  The Editor's Choice Award. When I say 'known' him i don't mean on personal level. I first met this humble man in 2008 at Microsoft office in Johannesburg, he was sitting there but there was something about him that struck me, it was his humility.

 

later that day I enquired who he was I was told it was Zibusiso Mkhwananzi a 25 year entrepreneur who has achieved success in the ICT world with his company Krazy Boys Digital, to cut the story short I was impressed by his tenacity and drive.

 

Recently, he changed my life, he doesn't know it but he did.When he was announced last night i said to myself this is a well deserved recognition. Congratulations man you desrve it keep the good work, we need more leaders like you.

Mkhwanazi is not only the executive chairman of the country's largest digital advertising agency, Krazyboyz Digital, he has also founded a non-profit entrepreneurship academy for the underprivileged in his community of Vosloorus. His vision is to create a new breed of "ethical" South African entrepreneurs. 


Finalists were selected after a public call for nominations and direction from a panel comprised of specialists in the respective categories and finalists from previous years. These finalists were considered based on the iconic status achieved in their area of expertise, as well as the difference made in everyday life for the good of society. Winners were selected by Men's Health readers via the website and the magazine.
