28 year old Vuyokazi Mhlophe has just been
appointed as Brand Activation and Marketing Manager for Gagasi Fm.
Despite having a Bachelor of Commerce
Degree in Accounting, Vuyokazi chose to follow her passion for marketing. She started her career at South African
Breweries where she was appointed as brand development representative and, shortly
afterwards, market development representative. She was then snapped up by
Unilever, where she worked as customer marketing assistant manager and was
awarded the Ace, Gem and Oscar awards for her excellent work ethic. She then
grasped an opportunity at Kinky Hair where she was appointed marketing manager
before moving on to Brandhouse Beverages as a brand manager for Johnnie Walker
South Africa.
Her life is inspired by one of Nelson
Mandela’s quotes: “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but
in rising every time we fall”. That said, her dream for the future is to be “an
inspiration to disadvantaged youths who are ambitious and driven to reach their
dreams.”
When Vuyokazi is not working, she enjoys
spending time with her family, travelling, going to music shows, attending
theatre productions, eating out, reading and going to movies.
