Kyle Tomlinson
Kyle Tomlinson
Kyle Tomlinson was born in 2002 in the vibrant city of Cape Town, South Africa. Growing up in the coastal suburb of Melkbosstrand, Kyle developed a strong sense of curiosity, drive, and a love for both business and sport that would shape his journey in the years to come. He attended Melkbosstrand Private School and Van Riebeeckstrand Primary, where his early interest in learning and teamwork began to shine through. Kyle later went on to complete his high school education at Milnerton High School, where he further balanced academics with his growing involvement in sports and music. Currently studying Entrepreneurship through UNISA, Kyle has a deep passion for business and innovation. He enjoys working on side hustles and mini ventures, exploring creative ways to turn ideas into action — a mindset that reflects his entrepreneurial spirit and determination to build something of his own. Sport has always been a major part of Kyle’s life. He grew up playing cricket and tennis, and continues to enjoy both today. His dedication to sport even took him abroad — he spent two six-month periods in the United Kingdom, first in Yorkshire and later in Surrey, where he further developed his athletic skills and gained valuable international experience. Beyond business and sport, Kyle is passionate about music. He plays the guitar and enjoys singing, finding creativity and expression through sound. Described by those who know him as ambitious, trustworthy, and hardworking, Kyle embodies the spirit of someone determined to make a mark in whatever he pursues. Looking ahead, he dreams of building a successful online business, continuing to play sport competitively, and seeing how far his passion, focus, and creativity can take him.
