Momentum: May Edition

As the season shifts and we inch toward the heart of the year, Momentum feels like the perfect word to anchor this issue — a celebration of pace, purpose, and the people propelling change across industries, identities, and ideas.

​

We open this edition with a candid conversation with Nosipho Maketo, the inspiring CEO of Chocolate Tribe, on innovation, leadership, and rewriting narratives in tech. In an exclusive interview, Banele Rewo unpacks what it takes to shift South Africa’s business mindset — visionary doesn’t begin to cover it. We also sit down with Thandolwethu Zondi, who shares a powerful reflection on faith, purpose, and following the pull of your calling, even when the path isn’t paved.

​

This month, we turn our lens to the modern workplace — not just how we work, but how we feel while doing it. From exploring the mental wellbeing of employees to redefining career momentum, we’re asking what it means to build a sustainable professional life. We also spotlight Africa’s rising wealth with a breakdown of the six African names on Forbes’ World Billionaires List.

​

On the lifestyle front, we’ve curated a thoughtful Mother’s Day Gift Guide and a must-read New Mom Survival Kit — tender, practical, and full of heart. For a little indulgence, explore our picks of 5 standout spas in Sandton, the rise of sparkling tea in the luxury drinks scene, and a full breakdown of EMS training (yes, those suits that make your whole body buzz).

​

This issue is for the self-starters, the silent grinders, the visionaries in waiting. May it meet you exactly where you are — and gently nudge you forward.
