Radio personality Carol Ofori plans to use her birthday as a time to reflect on her goals and aspirations for the year ahead.
"I’m not really big on New Year’s resolutions. My birthday is on 14 January, I use it as a time to reflect on the year that’s been and set goals for the next chapter of my life. A big one for me in the upcoming year is fulfilling my dreams and finally seeing all the things I’ve wanted to see for a long time now."
For TV and radio personality Kgosi Rankhumise, the new year is a fresh start, and he said it offers a sense of hope.
"The field has been levelled, and we all start from scratch again. So previous failures, limitations, disappointments, and shortcomings are behind us. So this year, I hope to leap and take the risk in business, in my career, in setting firmer boundaries, and try new challenges."
