Thabo Baloyi

A social misfit with a curious mind and a love for pretzels and chicken wings.

Pretoria, the best city in the world!

Nelspruit, Johannesburg and Pretoria. I currently live in Johannesburg.

Xitsonga, English and Setswana

Cape Town, Nelspruit, Shenzen and Guangzhou.

Watching classic films, binge-watching series, reading a juicy novel, cooking and baking (I’m REALLY good in the kitchen).

When I was in primary school, a friend bet R50 that I couldn’t walk home, which was about 12 km away. Keen to prove him wrong, I actually did, but I got into trouble with my mom - and he never gave me the R50.

Essays, news stories, easy dinner recipes and good bargains on gadgets.

Naomi Campbell, Lil Nas X, Oprah Winfrey, Ryan Murphy and Kim Jong-Un.

Matilda, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, The O.C and The Golden Girls.

Nothing to write home about really, just a plain couch, a few pillows and some tupperware!

Somewhere far away from civilisation, but with a good Wi-Fi connection and breakfast buffet.

To swim, to moonwalk and playing the violin.

Believe it or not, I can actually sing!

Flying.

The closest thing to sports I’ve watched was Madonna’s Superbowl Halftime performance.

Mental health and empowering the youth through education.

Being in the Saturday Night Live audience and attend one of those two-day music festivals where everyone is partying too hard to even hear the music.

Politicians and their flagrant disregard for injustices facing the very people who voted them into power.

Definitely has to be humanity. There is so much comfort in knowing that there are people among us who extend their love and compassion, especially to those need it the most.

Everyone is genuinely pleasant and the team I work with has become family.
