Kabelo has over 15 years Public Affairs and Relations experience in Southern Africa, based mainly in the extractive industries working for diamond mining giant Debswana (DeBeers-Botswana).

This ambition has seen Hotwire making some very "hot" connections with the likes of africapractice (africapractice.com) and Young & Rubicam.
