Dear Buhle, I've written this recommendation of your work to share with other LinkedIn users. Details of the Recommendation: "Bulhe Mbonambi was a student who was highly motivated, he radiated innovation. With his excellent writing skills and ability to motivate others to be best at what they do, he became an interesting rival in class. If anything most of our classmates envied him mostly for his rather heightened sense of fashion, hence we were all convinced that he would end up writing for a huge publication. As co-producer while doing a documentary, Buhle kept the ship afloat, while making sure that we all focused on our given tasks, he was a self appointed producer, the reason why at the end we completed the documentary. If you do choose to have Buhle in your company, then you will be making a great choice and he will not disappoint."

Mr Mbonambi is an exceptional student. He constantly generates provocative, original and intelligent ideas, and this was also reflected in his excellent assignments for the course, Media Studies (second level module which I lectured). Buhle has a range of interests, and managed to draw these into his research, and indeed it is his wide range of enthusiasms that make him such a valuable student to have. His command of the language is exceptional, as is his diligence, together equipping him with the rare tools needed to succeed in the modern South African media landscape. Buhle's flawless academic record more than proves his worth as a valuable asset to the South African workforce, and I have no doubt in my mind that he will embed herself passionately in whatever occupation he pursues. Buhle has a wonderful personality, and gets on very well with both academics and students. He is enormously entertaining and leaves a lasting impression on those who come into contact with him.
