In a recent interview, Themba shared his thoughts on the importance of investing in real estate, the value of mentorship, and the need to celebrate Black excellence. The man's got some serious wisdom to drop! As one of the most successful DJs out there, Euphonick has definitely paid his dues to get to where he is today. His insights are pure gold for anyone looking to make it big in the entertainment biz while also building long-term wealth through savvy investments.

Where did the love of property investment come from?

It came from researching how to invest my DJ money into something that would grow the value and never lose what I initially put into it. The more I got into it the more I loved it as it also allows me to expand on my creative side by converting spaces from nothing into

something nice.

No one can ignore your advocacy on property matters. Why is it important

for you to educate South Africans about the perks and pitfalls of homeownership? 

I made a lot of mistakes when I bought my first few properties and I’ve learnt that if you get the number right on your first buy it makes it easier for you to buy the next property. We have a deep lack of knowledge and understanding about property and my aim is to make it easier, understandable and more

accessible to people so they get their first buy right.

What should one know before investing in property?

The numbers make or break a deal in my opinion. Most people don’t understand interest rates, they don’t know that derby can be used as leverage and they don’t understand generally how the finance of property works. I feel if you get that right it makes everything else easy.

What does mentorship mean to you?

Mentorship is about learning the path from someone who has walked it. You don’t need to know them personally as you can watch from a distance and learn. My sessions are about helping people who want to learn from me about how I did it and continue to. It's also one thing to know the path and understand the thinking behind it.

Behavioural theories believe that people can become leaders through the process of teaching, learning, and observation. Do you agree with the theory?

I agree with that. It also comes with making yourself uncomfortable and pushing your own personal boundaries to the limits. You can never know enough or learn enough.

What's your definition of success?

Success to me is living a fulfilled life and doing the things you were sent to earth to do. It's a personal thing and I know money has nothing to do with it from experience and from watching others who have done it live.

What does black excellence mean to you?

I prefer to focus on excellence. I like to be at the top of my

game rather than at the top of my race’s game.

What's next for you?

Joy. Joy is beyond happiness and comes with peace. Those things are important to me. My path will always have music and property involved.
