OurJourney
Trace the path from Salatiso.com’s solo voice to Mlandeni Notemba Investments — an Ubuntu homecoming where personal mastery, family stewardship, and digital tools fuse into one ecosystem.
The evolution of this app mirrors Salatiso’s own story — from a single practitioner and author to a family collective that brings the work back home under the Mlandeni Notemba banner.
