Kabelo’s comment: ‘‘This is an interesting piece of content and the difficulty of this type of storytelling is how it can easily go wrong. Capturing the stature and scale of the business side of things and juxtaposing that against the slice of life moments to add that human element. Mzi and Michael have done a great job with the attention to detail in ensuring that the contrasts worked out seamlessly and the end result is a good piece of content and repeatable format that one can build rich brand storytelling on.’’
