#TheDeviShow is taking a well-earned production break but weâre not ditching you with an empty screen. We remind you of the most unusual peeps (and past times) weâve had the pleasure of inviting onto the show. This week â itâs all about South Africans carving out unusual career paths!
REFILWE THE PILOT
Refilwe Ledwabaâs career took off when she applied to be a cabin attendant on a local airline â a few years later, she had qualified to fly the plane. But that wasnât enough for this inspirational leader and she soared to become South Africaâs first black female helicopter pilot. Her success motivated her to advocate for girlsâ education and youth development in the country - we caught up with this pioneering aviator just before she took off on her next adventure.
BALLOON PILOT â SEMA MATHEBULA
Her office is the open skies and her desk a basket which sways in the wind. Sounds romantic? Well, it depends on the weather. Sema Mathebula thrives on hot air, a lot of it. She is South Africaâs first black female hot air balloon pilot and for her, the sky is really the limit.
