Avenue Talk with Sibusiso Mphogo

 We sat down with Fitness Instructor and Upcoming Business Man Sibusiso Mphogo, who gave us a big breakfast on what to expect and who he is..

The future sure is fit and fine for this young fella....

Here's what we got up to:

Thank you for joining us Sbu, so how are you? And welcome to Mzansi Avenue...

Sibusiso; Thank you for having me, I must say I'm fresh thank you for asking, how are you?

Masulele: I'm good thanks, so tell us about yourself, who is Sibusiso Mphogo?

Sibusiso: Well I'm Sibusiso Mphogo, born and raised in Limpopo, in a town called Burgersfort.

Masulele: Interesting so Anyway let's get into business, what makes you Sbu, what makes you stand out from the rest?

Sibusiso: (laughs)  What makes me stand out is that I do things my own way, I do them the Sbu way..I have my own style of attempt/ action, far from a copycat. I'm just a cool guy, those who know me very well can tell you that I'm always smiling. That's me. I mean a smile is the best make up.

Masulele: Nice, like Sia said in that song, you're not fully dressed without a smile...now tell me, what drives you? What are you passionate about?

Sibusiso: What drives me is the fact that I'm after financial freedom,where I don't have to rely on anyone else but my own pocket, I want to secure the bag. Independence is important to me.

I'm passionate about fitness, hitting the gym and promoting a healthy lifestyle, yeah that's what I love.

All in all I can say is I'm on some wealth kinda vibe. Travel the world and take care of the ones I love.

Masulele: Get the bag man, cheering you on like a certified cheerleader, I just need pom-poms (laughs) if you had to be anyone famous right now who would you be and why?

Sibusiso: Well I'd love to be Dwayne Johnson (The Rock)

The guy is a living legend, he's one of the most paid actors in the world, he's a huge draw in, I mean who wouldn't want to see him? And also his passion for fitness, I feel like that's something we have in common.

How he came to be the man he is today inspires me. 

Masulele: Wow, you're right...I think we should raise eyebrows and eat some pie after this.  Which song or album is currently on repeat on your playlist and why?

Sibusiso: Purpose by Justin Bieber. The song keeps me going, I'm madly in love with the lyrics.

Masulele: You definitely listen to the good and meaningful stuff. What are your famous words that encourage you and others?

Sibusiso: My own or should I like quote someone?

Masulele: I'd say any words..yeah.

Sibusiso: a goal without a plan is just a wish ..

Masulele: Wow, that's hard hitting and so true. So do you have a strong support system?

Sibusiso: Yes definitely, my family is always there which I'm thankful for. In some cases I have to be on my own, no handouts or favours just Me, Myself and I.

Masulele: Wow,that's something...and you have an upcoming clothing brand, can you tell us about that?

Sibusiso: Oh yes,that's my baby I'm very excited about it and I cannot wait to release it. It's called Life Goes On (LGO) a brand that says get moving for a better tomorrow. A motivating fashion, we've got bucket hats, Tshirts and more on the way... exciting times.

Masulele: Wow, Sitting out is a flatline, stay moving...I like that. What's your biggest motivation?

Sibusiso: Young and successful business men and women. I want to make it to the top and own a private jet before the age 30.

Masulele: Faith and effort my brother, you got this... what's the main goal for Life Goes On?

Sibusiso: The first one is customer satisfaction, quality, delivery and  communication.

Secondly we want to takeover South Africa be one of the leading brands.

And open a few stores in SA and outside the country.
