YES Alumni Profiling – Bryan Mposula: From Rags to IT:

The Youth Employment Service’s approach of identifying and leapfrogging talented individuals into promising careers highlights the success of its model. It creates a conduit between talented youth and potential employers who may not have had the chance to connect otherwise.

Just ask Bryan Mposula. His initial 12-month YES work experience was sponsored by Liquid Telecoms, with IT Varsity as the host partner. Here he embarked on a journey of self-improvement and discovery, acquiring valuable professional skills along the way.

After completing his stint with YES, Mposula found a new beginning as a business integration arch associate at the leading consulting firm Accenture. These positions are highly sought after and often competed for by people with multiple degrees and broad experience.

Despite receiving multiple job offers and experiencing self-doubt, he knew he had made the right decision to join Accenture. The alignment of his personal values with Accenture’s corporate values reassured him during his induction.

Ponte City: Success

Today, Ponte City is a success story of urban reclamation, though it remains a place of intense complexity. It is no longer a luxury playground for the elite, nor is it a gang-controlled fortress. Instead, it is a bustling residential hub for the city’s working and middle classes. The core is clean, and the “Vodacom” neon sign that wraps around the top of the building—the largest electronic sign in the southern hemisphere—continues to pulse as a beacon over the city.

The building has also become a cultural icon on the global stage. Its dystopian aesthetic has made it a favorite for filmmakers; it served as a primary location for the finale of Resident Evil: The Final Chapter and influenced the set design of the futuristic slums in District 9. For Johannesburgers, Ponte is more than a building; it is a barometer of the city’s health. Its journey from a symbol of colonial luxury to a pit of despair, and finally to a functional, vibrant home for thousands of Africans, mirrors the messy, hopeful trajectory of Johannesburg itself.
