Mzansi Magic hosted the annual Market Day nation wide, which is an initiative to groom young entrepreneurs in the areas they are gifted in and offer them a platform to showcase their skills.
It's really awesome that a TV network could dedicate weeks to grooming young people and offer them a national stage to display their skills. We are always bombarded with negative content on our TVs and we always write endless articles about these programs, but seldom write about such a great initiatives.
Actually, we need more TV programs that are all about building our youth, so we don't complain in the future that we don't have great leaders.
I attended the Market Day at Maponya Mall. There were two main categories namely the stage performances and the arts and craft. I was honoured to be selected to be one of the judges. I had a blast!
