PROFILE: SBUDDA O BRIEN






Q: Who is Sbudda? (Education & career background) - I'm a township boy from Bushbuckridge, MP. Graduated at TUT in IT back in 2005. For the past 6 years I was working in IT industry.
2.    What inspires you to hustle on? - I couldn't manage my bills with monthly salary, so I thought of pity cash for personal survival.
3.    Re Phela Soh! Tell us about that…don’t forget the highlights and success. - It's a slogan from my friends(TEAM Castle) which tend to be a lifestyle. It means that's how we roll/live. It doesn't matter what state of situation you are at, there's always someone you share the same sentiments. The lifestyle which tend up to be a brand, it's clothing is comprised of t.shirts, hoodies, beanies, caps, sporties which we print on our own.
4.    Hopes and dreams for the future? - I'm hoping that the brand can be one of the recognised thing in the medium. I mean, there are advertising agencies that can use the slogan "RE PHELA SoH" as a marketing strategy to any target market, as long they make it understandable. In future, I'll like to see RPS as a hub of smart thoughts to different aspects of businesses.
5.    Any word of advice for the youth out there, especially those walking the same path. - get a mentor and never be afraid to seek advice or inputs. More esp. those who have experience to your field. NB: Business with pleasure never work together.
As you know we are celebrating the Youth month…we would love to hear what you think.
What does this month mean to you as today’s youth? - Feel privileged that you're still youth to accomplish most of your goals. Because, once u don't make use of your youth days, o tla ja mamina a dithaka tsa gago. 
How do you celebrate it? - going to the municipal events and watch those aspiring artists
Any words to share with the youth concerning this month. - If you strive for the best, all good things will follow.
