He came, he saw, and he conquered. This is the surprising story of a small-town boy from South Africa who has made it big in India. Meet Netto Maluka, founder of Mbombela Experience, a small tour operator in Mpumalanga province of South Africa which has been generously endowed by Mother Nature.

That was when Netto first set his foot in India to participate in a roadshow organised by South Africa in India, its first in the post-pandemic era.
