About the author

Kabala H. John

<p>Kabala stands out as one of Africa's revolutionary thinkers of the 21st century, known for his versatile profile as a dynamic international consultant, keynote speaker, author, researcher, and coach. With a strong academic background in Engineering, Community Development, and Development Studies, obtained from the University of South Africa, Kabala's vision is firmly rooted in finding pan-African solutions for entrepreneurial development across the continent.</p><p>His work has made a significant impact on audiences throughout Africa and beyond, where he has delivered strategic approaches to African development through the lens of individual, community, and corporate growth. Kabala's passion for transforming lives is driven by his unshakable belief in the power of education over incarceration to bring about societal change.</p><p>Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kabala's passion for writing began early in his life. As a teenager, he wrote poems and papers for his local music group. However, his focus shifted when he pursued an engineering degree in South Africa, where he worked in the industry for eight years. During this time, he realized that his true calling lay beyond engineering; it was in contributing to the greater good of humanity, particularly in addressing global social issues. His pivotal question: <em>How can Africans be a part of the future, considering Africa is the future of the world?</em></p><p>This realization led Kabala to enrol in additional studies in community and development, followed by involvement in entrepreneurial initiatives across the continent. His goal was clear: to help build strong and prosperous communities in Africa and the diaspora, laying the foundation for a new Africa.</p><p>Kabala's work is far-reaching. He actively engages in keynote speeches, book writing, and community organizing, sharing his philosophy that humanity falls into three categories: those who make things happen, those who witness events, and those who are surprised by what happens. He chooses to be among the change-makers, influencing the world with his forward-thinking vision.</p><p>For more, visit:</p><p>- <u>:</u> <u>https://www.kabalajohn.co.za/</u></p><p>- Email: talktome@kabalajohn.co.za / peuplelibre1@gmail.com</p>
