Not your Average Interview with Mpumelelo Dlabongwana

Each month we give away MapStudio prizes to our Facebook community members and then get to know them a little better with a fun interview. Meet Mpumelelo Dlabongwana, one of our July winners. Mpumelelo walked away with a large Africa wall map and 300 piece Africa puzzle this month.

If you want to go on your own adventure through Africa, you might want to have a look at 4×4 hire to find the best vehicle for your adventure.
