“There’s great value in being a distinguished gentleman. Not only does your reputation precede you, but you also have no point to prove. It all starts with a vision to inspire change for the betterment of humanity.”   

This July, Destiny Man celebrates its sixth birthday with an issue that upholds the Distingushed Life, which resonates perfectly with the legacy of Nelson Mandela this Madiba month. Our cover star, Themba Baloyi’s story gives a poignant narration of his journey to success and how it has been founded on a commitment to a vision.

Like Madiba, Baloyi had the vision of building an organisation that would make a difference in people’s lives. As a gift to our readers, the cover feature also includes first-hand insights into the innovators he mentors – Ludwick Marishane, founder of DryBath and Ridhwan Khan, founder of Mobicel. Readers can also enjoy some of Madiba’s best quotations in the free booklet, Notes To The Future.

Enjoy the Distinguished Life Report as we showcase all the essential elements for living your best bold distinguished life, with the latest cars, fashion and grooming trends.
