Tino who is currently in Durban, hinted that he has a big announcement to make today. After having achieved so much in his lifetime, it's hard to believe that the good homie is only 26 years old. In an interview with ZAlebs Tino shared how he had initially aimed at carving a career in sport.
"I have always wanted to play sport in my life, I wanted to be a professional athlete. Growing up soccer and rugby were always my true passion. For me It was a thing of I always wanted to go oversees. I was even scouted before I attended University, but my parents were not about to hear it also because to them they always do not see an athlete make it because of injuries and so many other things, so for me it was a thing that South Africa was a second option to be closer to home but ultimately it was the best option," he said.
The Zimbabwean born model said he decided to pursue a career in TV because he wanted to show the masses that he is multi-talented: "I wanted to show more of my personality, character and more of my energy and I felt like now TV is the best possible step to do that so for me it was perfect because I was just like no, you come from a point where you have succeeded in modelling, so take your step further and challenge yourself and I went to the MTV VJ search competition and I did well. I made it to the national Top 4 and I did not make it and it broke my heart but you need to understand in life that when Gods takes away some things he is trying to replace them with something better."
Over the years, the 26 years old, has cut his teeth in numerous Art avenues including, music, modeling and television presenting. Tino has hosted renowned TV shows such as Channel O My Top 5 and The Morning Show on eTV.
