#BehindtheSelfie with... Luyanda Peter, MD of Harambee Communications

Peter captions this: “The many faces of Luyanda.”

1. Where do you live, work and play?

I live in a world-class African city, also known as Jozi. My work time is split across our main offices in Bryanston and Gaborone. I play in both suburbia and the townships – I never turn down an invitation to a shisa-nyama.

2. What’s your claim to fame?

In my youth (and about 20kgs ago), I summited Mount Kilimanjaro and climbed up to the Mount Everest Base Camp. I had illusions of grandeur and wanted to climb the highest peak on each continent, but life got in the way.

3. Describe your career so far.

An awesome journey of more than 20 years, with 16 years on the client side. I started off marketing beer, then moved to sports retailing and financial services and ended up at a sports media company. I worked with some of the brightest minds in marketing and advertising, while being exposed to different markets and cultures.

4. Tell us a few of your favourite things.

Two incredible humans –
