What does it feel like to step into a new environment and quietly ask yourself: Will this place see me?

In this episode of On Pivoting, I sit down with Matsetsebale “Tsetse” Tleane to explore the power of geographical pivots and the discipline of not forgetting who you are while entering new spaces.

From leaving Limpopo for Gauteng, to sitting in global rooms and realising that we have something to offer the world, Tsetse reflects on identity, leadership, and impact. We speak about roots, church, community radio, family and how those early environments shaped his conviction to serve.

We also unpack what it means to “create the future” instead of only reacting to the past, and how growth can look like doing more with less — fewer emails, fewer proposals, but deeper impact.
