This episode of Listen To Your Footsteps is a little different and was a little difficult to put together. Wandi 'DJ1D' Nzimande had many hats that he wore with aplomb, navigating them seamlessly - father, husband, friend, mentor, founder of Loxion Kulcha, television executive, deejay, broadcaster, brand strategist, marketer, content producer, etc. I was fortunate enough to call him friend. Sadly, he passed away in January 2021.

This episode is a conversation I had with Wandi in March 2020. It was at a restaurant in Johannesburg, Blaque Bistro, in front of a small, intimate audience. The event was an experiment. What was to be the start of a series, which Wandi was helping me on. As an afterthought, I pressed record on my phone, which was on a table between us. That recording is this episode.

We talked about Wandi's journey from Soweto to establishing the first South African streetwear brand, heading up and building Soweto TV, and everything in-between.
