PASSIONATE ACTIVIST<br />

By Bonolo Kgarane<br />

At the age of 9, it may have<br />

seemed like nothing but a pipe<br />

dream; but Pilane Bubu (32) ultimately<br />

diverted from societal<br />

expectations of being a lawyer or<br />

even a doctor to focus on music<br />

as a career. “I believe that I can<br />

change the world through creativity<br />

and passion and that the<br />

world would be a better place if<br />

we all did more of what we are<br />

passionate about,” points out<br />

the Creative Lifestyle Activist.<br />

It is indeed<br />

never<br />

too late<br />

to accomplish<br />

your<br />

dreams<br />

The Mthata born singer who<br />

neglected her creative journey<br />

from when she was in matric until<br />

the age of 25 shared her music<br />

interest with her twin sister.<br />

“We loved school assembly and<br />

going to the Chapel every morning.<br />

We would come home in the<br />

evenings and take turns in singing<br />

to school hymn book back to<br />

back,” says Pilani. A shared journey<br />

Pilani had as her family supported<br />

her and her passion by<br />

buying her musical instruments<br />

from a tender age.
