MBABANE – Jumbo Khumalo is taking his inspirational message across the country!
The multi-talented MC, influencer, author, columnist, mentor, philanthropist, entrepreneur, and founder of the Jumbo Festival is launching a national tour to promote his book, The Winning Tips for Hustlers.
The tour begins on February 8, 2025, at Sibane Sami Hotel, the same venue where the book was launched in June 2024. Subsequent stops will include Nhlangano, Mbabane (Limkokwing University of Creative Technology Eswatini and Mbabane Library), and other locations. The schedule was confirmed by Jumbo Khumalo on January 20, 2025.
Speaking about his motivation for the tour, Jumbo said, “The inspiration comes from the outcry of people in rural areas and far from the main cities who struggle to access my book and seminars. This tour is my response to their needs.”
He elaborated, “My main goal is to reach the outskirts and remote areas of the country. I want to decentralize the book’s availability and impact young people in disadvantaged communities. This tour is about bringing value to those who might not otherwise have access to such resources.”
Jumbo promises an exciting and impactful experience for attendees. “The tour is power-packed,” he shared. “I’ll be joined by my public figure friends who have achieved remarkable success in their careers to inspire the audience. Additionally, the events will serve as networking platforms for hustlers. We aim to hold two events per month.”
The Winning Tips for Hustlers is priced at E150 and is available at select bookstores. The book draws from Jumbo’s journey, detailing how he transitioned from being a university dropout to a successful entrepreneur. Packed with practical advice and lessons learned from his successes and failures, the book serves as a guide for those seeking to build their brand and achieve success.
Jumbo is no stranger to inspiring others. With over 85,000 followers on Facebook, he has solidified his influence across various platforms. In January 2024, he launched an online publication, See You at the Top Magazine. Inspired by the slogan of the Jumbo Festival, the digital magazine focuses on lifestyle, fashion, and business, targeting a youthful audience.
“The magazine is part of my 2024 goals,” Jumbo explained. “Its digital format is tailored for young people, who spend most of their time on their phones. It’s all about meeting them where they are.”
The national book tour and his other initiatives underscore Jumbo’s commitment to empowering others and sharing his journey of resilience and success.
