Success Against the Odds: Building a Booming Property Business in Soweto with Nthabiseng Sejake
Episode #66 with Nthabiseng Sejake, who is a rising star in the world of property investment. Nthabiseng is the founder of B Evolution, a rapidly expanding rental business based in Soweto.

- What do you think the importance of people from Soweto playing a big role in the development and regeneration of the area is?
