Tshepo Sibanda is not just a chef by trade; he’s also an investor and proud resident of Orlando Towers Estates, the latest EasyProperties offering. With a story full of ambition, resilience, and forward thinking, Tshepo is proof that investing isn't just for the elite - it's for anyone willing to take the leap.
“For more than six years, I’ve been on this investing journey,” says Tshepo. “It all started when I heard about EasyEquities on the radio. Growing up, I always wanted to save or invest for my future. I work hard to live the life I do, but I knew I needed to think ahead for my family and kids.”
Tshepo's favourite investments? “My Standard Bank and Stanlib shares. They’ve been great,” he shares with pride. But he didn’t stop there. About two or three years ago, he ventured into EasyProperties, recognizing the potential of property as a valuable addition to his portfolio. “Like they say, ‘knowledge is power,’ and understanding the value of property investments has been key for me.”
Life at Orlando Towers Estates
Tshepo moved into Orlando Towers Estates a year ago and describes the experience as transformative. “It’s been amazing - peaceful and truly feels like home. I’ve met wonderful neighbours and found personal space that gives me peace of mind. Plus, the location is incredibly convenient with malls, hospitals, universities, and sports centres all nearby,” he says.
Before moving to Orlando Towers Estates, Tshepo lived at his grandmother’s family home, about 12km away. While that home holds cherished memories, Orlando Towers has given him a modern and secure living experience that he really appreciates.
On Investing in Township Property
Tshepo is a big advocate for investing in township property. “Townships like Soweto are the foundation of so much - history, culture, and now, modern development. Soweto has grown significantly over the years, and Orlando Towers Estates is a perfect example of that. It’s historically rich, child-friendly, secure, and modern. Why wouldn’t you invest here?”
A Solid Investment for the Future
For Tshepo, investing in property is a no-brainer. “It’s my kids’ future. Property is an appreciating asset, and it comes with a lifestyle and peace of mind that’s hard to beat,” he explains. “Expanding your portfolio is crucial - don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Diversify, learn, and grow.”
Consider Orlando Towers Estates
Tshepo’s story is an inspiring reminder of how investing can transform lives. By making Orlando Towers Estates your next investment, you’re not just buying property; you’re investing in a thriving community, modern living, and a piece of history.
