SPOTLIGHTING OUR PEOPLE | Tshepo Modiri

We sat down with Account Manager Tshepo Modiri, aka Crocky, for a little Q&A session on all things him, movies, books and footie. Tshepo plays an integral part within Team Beer, co-founded the Cape Town Campus Book Club, and has been with us since the 2021 M&C Saatchi &I Graduate Programme.

Q: WHAT ARE THREE THINGS OUTSIDE OF WORK THAT INTEREST YOU?

A: 1. I think my biggest hobby outside of work would be my amateur film photography journey. I fell in love with film almost 7 years ago now, I have been taking photos ever since. There are many things about film that I love, but to sum it up I would say, film has taught me to notice and appreciate the smaller moments in life. 2. Another interest point of mine are movies. Absolutely love movies. Good movies, bad movies, strange movies, it does not matter. Movies are just my favourite art form, and I could talk about movies with people all day. 3. 5-a-side football is another big interest of mine. I’m part of the MCSA 5-a-side team here for 2 years running. I look forward to that mid-week game every week. It’s such great fun and a great workout as well.

 

Q: 2 TRUTHS 1 LIE 

A: I love going to the beach; I love reading books and co-founded the MCSA book club; I support Arsenal Football Club.

Q: FAVOURITE BOOK OF ALL TIME?

A: Selfie by Will Storr.

Q: FAVOURITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME? 

A: Lord of the Rings. I consider all three to be one movie, but if you had to force me to choose, I would say The Twin Towers.

Q: WHICH ONE OF OUR VALUES RESONATE WITH YOU THE MOST AND WHY?  

A: OPEN. In my personal life I always strive to be open. Open with people, Open to new ideas, Open to new experiences. I honestly think this is the best way to live life, as I believe everyone has something to teach you. “The man that knows something knows that he knows nothing at all”.  Living your life with an open mind is the best way to expand  and grow your mind. If as a human being you are not growing, then what is the point?
