Successful young entrepreneur will not stop until he is living his dream
Aspiring model and entrepreneur Abraham Masobe Letsoalo (27) from Ga-Mothapo says he may be young but he has big plans and hopes to one day inspire other youths to become successful in their endeavours.
POLOKWANE – Abraham has thrived in the computer industry over the past few years and believes it will aid him in creating opportunities to encourage young people to pursue their dream careers. “The problem we have where I come from is that we do not have access to information that we need to succeed and pursue careers and talents. The internet is just a fancy word to most us until introduced and explained to us. Most of us do not even have money to further our studies after matriculating, which is why perhaps we have a higher rate of teen and unplanned pregnancies and alcohol and drug use in rural areas,” Abraham says.
As if being the CEO of a computer maintenance and network installation company, New Beginnings Communications, Abraham also aspires to be a model.
He says he has done part time modelling for local designers but hopes to hit national and international catwalks in the near future.
“I am a fit model, which is a model that has the perfect body size and proportions for a certain clothing line or designer’s preference. It is very important for a fit model to maintain their size. Fit models are hired to help designers see how their clothing looks and moves on a person. Some companies hire fit models on a more permanent basis. Fit models are the least seen and often best paid models in the business,” he explains.
According to Abraham, he does not have access to gym facilities but says he stays fit by running and doing floor exercises he saw on the internet.
The young entrepreneur hopes to create employment for the youth in Ga Mothapo through his company in the future.
