Appearance Sibuyi is a Pharmacist Assistant in training in his hometown of Giyani in Limpopo. Growing up in Giyani, Appearance says there weren’t many opportunities, so when he got a chance to train as an assistant at the local pharmacy, he saw it as his big break.

Mentoring him in his hometown, is pharmacist Rex Dlamini who runs a Pharmacist Assistant training programme that gives graduates the opportunity to gain pharmaceutical experience. Over the past 15 years, Dlamini has trained over 80 assistants who have gone on to be the breadwinners of their families.

Appearance values the mentorship he’s receiving, because he believes mistakes can happen easily without it. “If a mentorship is in place, it can help us to grow, to be consistent and to have discipline. I believe discipline is the most important thing,” he says.

Dlamini, who has over 4 decades of experience as a pharmacist, noticed Appearance has a hunger and a passion to be successful and he shows commitment to achieving his goals. “I think he fits well into the Next Generation of Brave, because he is confident but still prepared to learn,” Dlamini says.

There is a CCTV system that covers every street corner and scanning vehicle licence plates.

Top Star Drive-In: The Cinema on the Mountain of Gold

The Ferreira Dump began growing in the late 1800s, composed of the crushed rock and chemical residue left over after early, inefficient mining processes had extracted as much gold as the technology of the time allowed. By the 1960s, it was a flat-topped, man-made mesa overlooking the city. In a stroke of entrepreneurial genius, the surface was tarred and the Top Star Drive-In was opened. It quickly became a South African institution. Its appeal was not just the movies, but the unparalleled view: as the sun set, the massive white screen would flicker to life against a backdrop of the glowing skyscrapers of the Central Business District, separated from the viewer only by the elevated M2 highway.

In the decades before television arrived in South Africa (1976), the Top Star was a primary social hub. It was a democratic space in an undemocratic time; while the city below was strictly segregated, the “car” served as a private bubble that allowed a degree of social freedom not found in traditional theaters. For many Johannesburgers, the Top Star was a site of nostalgic rites of passage—first dates, family outings where children were piled into the back of station wagons with blankets and flasks of tea, and the Saturday “car market” where the parking lot transformed into a sprawling hub for buying and selling second-hand vehicles.
