TALENT WITHOUT LIMITATIONS
I am sure that by now everyone has questions about the bully behind the 20/21 questions. Who is Malama Kalaba? Why is he so interested in asking people about their talents and how he can promote them, well today is one of those few days when the Talent without limitations can give you actual answers other than "it's none of your business".
Malama Kalaba is the co-founder of Made In Zed, Director of Operations of Black Encryptions, founder of record label Tuggi and Frost records, an animator, a rapper/song writer and a french speaker (by profession, like he actually studied french at UNZA). This is just a glimpse of his C.V.
Anyway so we sat the young man down this time around and put him on the other end of the 20/21 questions, to show him what it feels like to be pushed around with questions.

MADE IN ZED STATUS: Talent without limitations. Because of his inability to stay focused on one single specialty, Malama is a talent without limitations. He is one of very few who has mastered multiple fields. However, despite being talented in so many areas Malama is unlikely to be the best in any field as that requires commitment in one single field. Something his psychological portfolio shows he has a tough time doing.

What got you into the career you are in right now?
I love people.
Do you ever get used to popularity/being a celebrity?
Yes. Ever since I was Unza French association VP, most people had knew me and I had no idea who they were. So I had to adjust to being popular and staying humble. With the frequent "hi - hello"s to not offend anyone.
What's the weirdest thing a fan has told you?
"How come you studied French? You look smarter than that"
This kills me every time. Y'all know French was only studied by smart people back in the 19th and 20th century right?

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I am a ho for celebrities. But I love Scarlett Johansson, Lupita Nyongo and Becky Lynch. Yeah, Becky Lynch, the wrestler.

Yes I do. Music, movies and reading keep me company. But above everything else, I love to meditate and pray when I am free.
Do you like pets? And what you if you do...?
Snakes!!! Am kidding, I love cats and dogs. Especially dogs, they put up less of a fight when bathing them.
What is the future of your industry?
I see a bright future for entrepreneurs. When I look at Dumisani Ncube, Ndabane Malcolm Soko, Yonah Mubanga, Naomi Soko and every other person I have worked with, I see smart, determined and hard working young people. Entrepreneurship is the new employment people, get with the program ASAP.
What do you hate the most in terms of habits/behaviours?
Disloyalty. I am a team player, I don't like teaming up with people with no loyalty

Building my skills. Balancing that with surviving was hard
Who would you like to give a shout out or shout outs to?
Shout out to Reyna, my family though we don't talk often, my business partners, my team and the defenders forces. I have peace because of all of you. Special about out to the MADE IN ZED talents, you guys are the best, I love y'all.
A word of inspiration to anyone who would love to be like you?
You can do better than I have done. Study all your problems and find solutions, apparently Jesus doesn't just deliver miracles anyhow especially to lazy people.
