"My name is Sipho Mangesi." This is the first English phrase I learnt in school. Now years later, this phrase is relevant in my career: "my name is Sipho Mangesi and I will be your Captain for this flight." This phrase is now the title of my upcoming book.
Coming soon.

Imagine a career that allows you to have breakfast in Cape Town lunch in Jozi and supper in Durban. I am blessed to be part of this as I continue working to achieve my dreams. This is what I signed up for. Side-note: let’s see if I can make it to church in East London by 10:00

I believe you because I come from far worse. I learnt to write my name on the sand. First English phrase I learnt was “my name is Sipho Mangesi” but here I am flying planes because just like these kids I had a good teacher ✈️

1/3 Totally unrelated. Was staying in some complex in Johanessburg, my neighbour was beaten up almost everyday by her unemployed boyfriend. No matter how many times we intervened and tried to save her as concerned neighbours, girl would just go back and fix things with Mr man.
I think one of my tenants abuses his partner. What do I even do without getting myself involved in couples business 😕. Hearing slaps and shouting every now and then is just not sitting okay with me

4/4 eventually security came and I left but starting abusing Mr man from that night onwards. Told him I don’t ever want to be disturbed by him beating his woman again and in fact whenever he sees me he must run. Never heard noises of him beating that woman again.

3/4 ..compromising her. Long story short, we eventually fought and I beat Mr Man up quite badly, he ran and locked himself in their apartment. I got a few drinks and camped outside their door each time he opened I was there waiting for him. I had all the time in the word

2/3 So this one time coming back from a night out I decided to start drama with Mr Man, provoked him so much that a fight was inevitable (less risk of being charged with assault if he throws the first punch). This seemed like the best way to get revenge for my neighbour without..

On this day I put my signature on the flight authorization for the very last time as the Pilot In Command for N84815. I have flown this Aircraft all over SA and I must say it is by far the best C172 I have ever flown. A huge thank you to Mach1 Aviation for the opportunity.

I donated solar lighting kits to over 300 homes that didn’t have electricity in Transkei. With the load shedding back looks like I might need to supply the entire country at a reasonable rate of course.
Please find below a demonstration of how this kit actually works.

The most important function of education at any level is to develop the personality &skills of the individual. My greatest achievement thus far on top of being a Commercial Pilot is being a Flight Instructor. I’m humbled to have the opportunity not just to fly but to teach flying

I want to do this again. Please nominate a school in the rural Eastern Cape that’s in a Village without electricity. I can only donate to the grade 12 learners for now. Some of them are still using candles and lamps which they can’t even afford to keep on throughout the night.
I am profoundly humbled that I was able to supply power to over 300 homes that do not have electricity in the rural Transkei by donating solar lighting kits. I thank the Lord for the provision. No more paraffin and candles Let there be light.

Useful when you need to get away from danger in reverse because in a life threatening situation no one has time for a 3 point turn. This maneuver is called a J Turn

Pilot training is very expensive. The road to becoming a Pilot is long hard and depressing especially when you don't come from a well off background. Siba is not some guy who woke up and decided to scam people, it's much more deeper than that.
