With all of your projects and things you’re simultaneously busy with, how do you maintain your diary and do you decide when to rest and what to say yes and no to?

I’m very strategic. I have a team of 4 people who work on brand Bonang, everyone split into different things, whether it’s Courvoisier, or Revlon or my emojis and my app, or my TV show.

I have five people at the office who are concentrated on one thing – sort of like an account executive. And what happens is that my time is managed very, very well and everything is planned and timed and scheduled very well.

So everything that’s happening now, is a strategic plan that’s been in effect since the middle of 2016.

So what people are seeing now, isn’t necessarily things that just came up out of the blue. The book has been written for over 18 months, the app has been planned for four and a half months, the emojis have been designed for 6 and a half months.

So the fact that it’s all coming out in July was the plan for July and August of 2017, but it’s been years and years in the making and I’m really grateful for my team.

Yes, I relax. I take lots of holidays, because I understand that if my heart and my head and my soul and my spirit isn’t happy, then I’m not able to do my job.

I’m an artist at the end of the day; I rely solely on how I feel about myself. So when I do feel a bit tired, like I did just after the KFC Taste Kitchen production on Mzansi Magic, I hopped on a plane, went away for two nights and came back refreshed.
