LOYISO BALA WROTE👇
At 36, I faced a harsh reality. If I didn’t make a change, I’d soon be in my 40s, struggling to book gigs, watching opportunities fade. I had spent years building a name in the industry, but deep down, I knew relying solely on music might not sustain me in the long run. I wasn’t willing to take that risk.
I could already see where things were headed. Despite a successful career, I would likely spend my days blaming the system for why musicians struggle financially. Not because the argument wasn’t valid, but because my career would have quietly slipped away, leaving me with nothing but frustration and “back in my day” stories.
The problem? No degree. No corporate experience. Just music.
But instead of accepting that fate, I took a leap. I walked into HenleyAfrica, hoping to start from scratch. A friend suggested I apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), which allowed my experience to count towards a Postgraduate Diploma in Business (PGDip).
That application was terrifying. Getting accepted was even scarier. I sat in my first class, completely out of my depth, Googling terms like “HR” and “balance sheets” because I was too embarrassed to ask.
But I didn’t quit. I graduated. Then I went for what seemed impossible – an MBA.
While studying, I volunteered at TBN Africa as a presenter and producer. Just before finishing my MBA, I was appointed as Channel Director. Three years later, I joined SABC, leading some of the biggest radio stations in the country.
At 36, I had no idea if I could rebuild my life. Now at 45, I stand in a career I once thought was out of reach, and it feels like I’ve been doing this for decades.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: it’s never too late to start over, to learn, to change paths, or to embrace new opportunities. Your past does not define your future.
On the other side of fear is growth. Be bold. Step into the unknown. Do what feels uncomfortable. And when you’ve done all you can, trust that God will take care of the rest.

@matthewkanniah I repeat! According to @JoburgMPD Spokesperson, Xolani Fihla, you are NOT forced to pay your outstanding traffic fines at a roadblock. And again, you are also not allowed to be detained. Play this clip to which ever officer has pulled you over and is making these claims‼️
