By Mr Gift Gavinko

We all want to be remembered, to feel as if we made an impact on the world, ultimately leaving a legacy behind where we have put our own personal stamp on the future. For many of us this is often the driving force behind achieving extraordinary things, or even modest goals, and we all turn to mentors for a little inspiration in order to reach these objectives. Hoping to inspire the young business and political entrepreneurs of the future, The Glenlivet Single Malt Whisky hosted the first of three inspirational talks on the 30th of September at Churchill’s Bar in Melrose Arch, Johannesburg with leading businessman and whisky master, Andile Khumalo officially launching The Glenlivet Legacy Talks with the host of the evening Azania Ndoro 

When we got to the venue we were welcomed with The 12 year old glenlivet single malt whiskey and some delicious Canapés

“As a brand, we believe in the importance of showing our consumers what the brand and legends are about, and Andile Khumalo embodies just that - having single-minded determination and an irrepressible spirit. There is no doubt that he has inspired the young entrepreneurs and business people of the future, leaving his own  legacy, much like George Smith who created The Glenlivet, the Single Malt Whisky which has left a legacy as the first licensed distillery in the world,” remarked Mandla Holomisa, The Glenlivet Brand Manager. We also got to taste the Glenlivet 15 year old and get the story behind the distinct taste. 

What would be an event without Jozis who's who's, here are the people we spotted at the event
Former Generations Actress Sophie Ndaba was there, it was a surprise seeing her at the event since it Generations last episode. 
Andile Khumalo ,Destiny man editor Kojo Baffoe and friend 



The beautiful and funny Khabhonina was also there, the energy this woman has and she is one of the coolest celebrities by far. 
The Kani's were there, they spent the whole night on their phones and taking pictures for Instagram pretending to have a good time.

Sinazo on point with the theme of the night wearing a black jump suit and a belt that matched the background 

I forgot her name, don't know what she was  doing at the event, she spent the whole night on her phone and she didn't bother trying to make any conversation with anyone besides the people who can't even see her... uhm like but she has a beautiful smile!


There is no doubt that the brand has introduced the tradition of sharing, inspiring and ultimately leaving a legacy with the launch of The Glenlivet Legacy Talks, and young business and political entrepreneurs in Cape Town and Durban can look forward to the modern symposiums in October 2014 and February 2015 respectively.
