In conversation with Akona Mofasa Madikane

from VOW 88.1 · host Thabile TTO, Kirsten Dickenson & Cameron Parsons

We all know that Johannesburg is a city driven by hustle, creativity, and the constant pursuit of opportunity – and at the heart of that energy are young people who are not waiting for change, but creating it. From fashion to business and community upliftment, today’s youth are building brands that speak not only to success, but to purpose and impact. One of those voices is Akona Mofasa Madikane, a young entrepreneur originally from Mthatha, now based in Johannesburg, and the founder of Tree Bird Trading Pty Ltd – a multi-dimensional brand rooted in creativity, resilience and empowerment. Joining us this morning, Akona represents a generation that is bold enough to turn vision into reality and build something meaningful from the ground up. Twitter · Instagram · Facebook
