This Youth Month, the Bathu Care Foundation proudly revives its beloved Walk Your Journey (#WYJSeries) a platform created to inspire and empower young South Africans through education, mentorship, and meaningful dialogue. With a clear mission to create sustainable and tangible opportunities for youth in disadvantaged communities, the Foundation is once again paving the way for the next generation of changemakers.
This year’s #WYJSeries, themed “Navigating the New Age of Retail: Opportunities and Challenges in South Africa,” invites budding entrepreneurs and future leaders to immerse themselves in bold conversations led by three of the country’s most influential trailblazers Theo Baloyi, Thatiso Dube, and DJ Zinhle. These pioneers have redefined what entrepreneurship looks like in South Africa and are coming together to share their journeys, insights, and the real moves that matter in today’s evolving retail world.
Taking place across three cities in June, the series kicks off in Johannesburg on 11 June at the iconic Market Theatre, heads to Polokwane on 18 June at the stylish Fusion Boutique Hotel, and wraps up in Durban on 25 June at the historic Playhouse Theatre. Each session promises a high energy, high impact experience designed to equip young people with practical knowledge, inspiration, and valuable connections.
Tickets are available now at all Bathu stores nationwide and with limited seats, early booking is essential.
“As we navigate this new age of retail, it’s critical that emerging entrepreneurs understand not only the digital tools at their disposal, but also the power of community and collaboration,” says Theo Baloyi, founder and Group CEO of Bathu.
The #WYJSeries is more than an event , it’s a movement to equip young South Africans with the knowledge and networks they need to thrive in a rapidly changing market.”
Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, a creative thinker, or a curious learner, the 2025 #WYJSeries is your chance to learn from the best, engage with like minded peers, and walk your journey toward a brighter future.
Don’t miss out. Secure your seat today and be part of a generation that’s shaping the future of African retail.
