Thriving Network on 03/28/2018 In the late 90s Nelson Mandela planted a seed with Angel Jones when he visited London. Jones was living in London at the time and part of the crowd on Trafalgar Square where Mandela addressed “a sea of freezing cold South Africans who had gathered to hear the global icon speak on the balcony of the South African Embassy,” reads the introduction to the Homecoming Revolution story. The legendary Madiba told the crowd: “I love you all so much, I want to put you in my pocket and take you home.” “I had this thought of ‘what am I doing here’ and came back home a few years later,” says Angel Jones, CEO Homecoming Revolution. “Coming home, I realised people have this perception of the grass is greener on the other side.” In London Jones worked at M&C Saatchi. Once back in South Africa she set up Morrisjones&Co Advertising with business partner, Nin Morris.
