More than just a media man, Kojo Bafoe
Being an editor for one
of South Africa’s biggest magazine is not for everyone. Only best of the best
enters that arena. Kojo Bafoe, editor of DESTINY Man magazine, writer, poet,
entrepreneur and father of two is by far one of SA’s leading men in the media.
He has a B. Commerce (Major Economics,
Marketing & Business Administration).
He
took time off to interact with readers
He took time out of his
busy schedule to interact with the readers and forum members of DESTINY Man.
This was not what I had expected, I can’t talk for everyone but we expected a
insightful business dialogue, a platform for readers to engage on what’s
covered in the magazine and on the site. However it was that and so much more, Kojo spoke about his career, family, state affairs, leadership, parenthood and
the dream he had to give up.
This is what readers
asked and without hesitation answered all questions. This is what he shared:
From some the tweets
this morning it appears you have worked in several industries. Would you say
the experience comes in handy in your current job?
Kojo:
“Absolutely. I've worked across multiple industries and was always viewed as a
'jack of all trades, master of none.' My work at Destiny Man needs me to have a
working understanding of a range of industries, sectors of society, etc and,
with my 'eclectic' work background ... I am able to navigate the different
spheres a bit easier.”

Who is/was your mentor?
Kojo:“The
various mentors I've had haven't necessarily been in the media, per se. I read
a lot of biographies and am fortunate to be able to interact with an array of
people and I try draw from all of them. I don't have formal mentors but people
like Khanyi Dhlomo (the boss), Thebe Ikalafeng, etc have given me much,
directly and indirectly.”
What’s your take on the
Olympics?
Kojo:
“I find the beauty of the Olympics is that it provides every country and
capable individual the platform to do and achieve in their chosen space. These
last Olympics were the first I've experienced through social media and it was
great to see so much attention on them. I love the Olympics because I get to
see so many different sports that I don't always get chance to follow regularly.”
Watching Usain Bolt do
his thing, did that make you nostalgic for track?
Kojo:
“This year was the first time it didn't hurt as much. When I was younger, it
was always difficult to watch the athletics. Remembering the feeling on
standing at top of track, looking down the lane, the world going silent but for
the voice of the starter, etc. I'd be too old now anyway :). I am however in
awe of athletes like Usain Bolt but I think it is also important to acknowledge
that those who even make the heats are at the pinnacle.”
What advice would you
give young entrepreneurs in the media industry?
Kojo:
“It is same advice I'd give regardless of industry. Focus on what you do best,
work hard on the fundamentals of what it is you are providing, and keep up with
the industry.”
What's your take on
Minister Manuel's parliamentary proposal for 2020? empowering the youth,
eliminating poverty. Is it realistic?
Kojo:
“Kuben Naidoo spoke at our recent Destiny Forum on the National Development
Plan 2020 and, while a great deal of it is admirable and fundamental to the
future of the country, I do think that citizens need to take the lead a lot
more because the government is not going to be able to fix it all. The reality
is that, the success of the Plan, is dependent on government actually being
able to implement what's included.”
What is the importance
of having a father/male figure?
Kojo:
“The absent fathers one is a difficult one. I was brought up by my father. What
I was taught is that it is part of what you do. Have a child, be a parent to
them. I have been blessed with two children for whom I am responsible. My
legacy will be the kind of foundation I create for them to pursue their dreams.
My father has been a consistent and
dominant feature in my life and I have learned much of what it is to be a human
being, and a man, from him so I do think it is important to have people to
guide, inspire you. I have benefitted from the wisdom of many men and women at
various stages of my life ... some don't even know of this.”
You are one of the very
few editors who actually write pieces in your magazine. What advice do you have
for interns who got horrible bosses for editors?
Kojo:
“The writing of pieces is very different from being a boss. Sometimes I think I
am very distant from colleagues and interns because I write. The act for me is
a very solo one. Horrible bosses are in general difficult to handle but the
first question one should ask is why are you in that space. If you are an
intern and looking to get an understanding of how things work then your focus
should be on that. Any magazine is a high pressure, high stress space -
particularly during deadline - which means there are times when there are no
niceties.”
What book are you
currently reading? What CD is playing in your car?
Kojo:
“Music changes constantly. On way to work, I was listening to Marilyn Manson -
Born Villian. Right now, listening to Wu Tang's Forever. Book. Just finished
Hiding In Hip Hop by Terrance Dean. Re-reading Russell Simmons' Do You as well
as a book called What Technology Wants.”
Will you be MC at the
Russell Simmons DESTINY Forum?
Kojo:
“At this stage, it looks like it will be that way. I generally host or speak at
all of our Destiny Man events as well as occasional joint event, like the Power
of 40 event we've been doing with Bisquit.”
How many languages can
you speak? Favourite holiday destination?
Kojo:
“Fluently, I speak English and Sesotho. My French and German are very bad. I'm
not much of a holidayer but I do love Ghana, but that's also tied to it being
my roots and not having lived there for most of my life. I went to Sweden last
year and would love to go back with the family to go skiing.”
What was it like
growing up?
Kojo:
“Although I grew up in Lesotho, my father did do all he could to ensure we
could all live comfortably. The idea of a cheeseboy is a very South African one
and I don't really buy into it because my background very different.”
You speak very fondly
of your father. Are you willing to share a little about your mom?
Kojo:
“My mother died in a car accident when I was 14 months. With my grandmother and
an uncle. I survived with my nanny. Been a long journey to make sense of that.”
Tell me about you
brothers/sister, how many kids' were you?
Kojo:
“I have two brothers and two sisters. I'm #2 after my sister.”
You sometimes refer to
yourself as a retired poet. Can you ever retire from that calling?
Kojo:
“It took me a long time to define myself as a poet and then was pursuing it as
a career. I wrote, published, performed, etc. At some stage, I decided I wasn't
going to focus on that as career and went into other areas. Just because someone
can play an instrument doesn't make them a working musician unless they decide
that is career. That's my approach to idea of poetry. Not about a calling.”
What does family mean
to you?
Kojo:
“Family is extremely important for me. It is the sanctuary from which you
engage with the world. My home and my family are my centre, solid ground - even
when there is drama.”

Chosen generation
The first time I heard
the term ‘chosen generation’; I thought it was just something people said.
Everyone kept boasting, raving and shouting we are the chosen generation. Over
the past five years I began to see what it really was. The significant,
cultural, spiritual and inner meaning, how people reacted and what made sense
to them.
But it was until this
morning (18 July 2012), whilst on my way to work, in a busy central Cape Town
station, when it all made sense. Today marks the 94th birthday of
former Nelson Mandela, also citizen of the world. In our generation there’ll
never be another Madiba.
If we look at young
people all over the world standing up to suppressed governments, lack of service
delivery, unemployment, liberation movements, I can go on and on. Then it’s
clear, we are indeed the chosen generation.
Being a chosen
generation is what you make of it. Will you follow in other footsteps? Will you
stand up for what its right? Will you be your own success story?
Only you can make that
decision. Whatever the outcome be true to yourself, be the chosen generation
for the next generation to read about.

Snoek & Patat Fees 2012
 |
|
|
When I was first
invited to the annual Snoek & Patatfees I thought to myself, ‘mmm interesting
combination’. I was told the event grew from 7 000 to close to 12 000 visitors
in just twenty-four months.
On arrival we were
welcomed by citizens of Goedverwacht, for 1 kilometer we were welcomed with
waves, smiles and hooters. We stepped out and grasped the soul sounds of the
local band and the smell of snoek. At 8am more than 2000 people were having
breakfast and the people were braaing, singing and just enjoying the atmosphere
of true country. At 11am I was told more than 6000 had passed through the
gates.
This festival is one of
the very few where the whole family and community can come and enjoy themselves.
After my first plate of snoek&patat I was officially an attendee of the
festival. What amazed me the most was the chefs, their dedication, hard work and
smiles on their faces while they were preparing the fish and snoek. The tourism
workers were wearing their velvet t-shirts very proudly and weren’t shy to pose
for the camera midst the busy day they were having.
Entertainment in my
opinion was the highlight of the day. They had dancers ranging from
traditional, hip-hop to freestyle. The bands both local and from other
countries like Namibia surely entertained the crowd. Performers included the
Diazville Koperband, Citrusdal dance group, Witzenburg dance group, Houtbay
dancegroup, Jac Jul, Tribal Echo, Bee Wings and headline act Emo Adams. All the
performers gave it their all when they performed.
South Africa is one of
the most cultural countries in the worked. This event brought neighbours, friends,
communities and the Western Cape together to celebrate not only the festivities
but the meaning of togetherness.
I look forward to next year’s festival.
