Akanyang Lesola, known to many as AkanyangTheAuthor, is more than just a writer — he’s a movement in motion. Born and raised in Rustenburg, South Africa, Akanyang is a self-help author, entrepreneur, and advocate for mindset transformation who’s taken his personal journey and turned it into purpose for others.
His debut book, “Respect The Tool: Unlocking The Power Of The Human Mindset,” is not just a title — it’s a call to action. A guide designed to help people tap into their inner power, build resilience, and believe in what they’re capable of, no matter where they come from.
But what makes Akanyang different?
He doesn’t just write about mindset — he lives it. He’s in the streets, in the townships, at taxi ranks and community halls — meeting people where they are and spreading his message face to face. There’s no barrier between him and the people he wants to uplift. It’s personal. It’s powerful. It’s real.
His belief?
“Your mind is your greatest tool — respect it, and it will take you places your feet never could.”
That’s the heartbeat behind everything he does. It’s a daily reminder that we shape our own futures with how we think, speak, and believe.
Nominated as a Literary Luminary, Akanyang isn’t chasing clout — he’s chasing impact. He wants to show young people that their dreams are valid, their voices matter, and their future is theirs to create.
A vote for Akanyang Lesola is a vote for transformation, for resilience, and for the kind of leadership that begins in the mind and flows out into the world. He’s not just telling stories — he’s rewriting narratives.
