Every day articles are written on Eskom’s imminent demise. Many of these articles are sponsored. The reality is that Eskom is turning itself around. Its balance sheet is getting stronger. Its operations are more reliable. Its people are stepping up on accountability & ethics.
The majority of South Africans are Christians who subscribe to capitalism that has a social conscience. The 2026 local government elections will prove that communism occupies no place in SA’s heart. Its local proponents practice capitalism in their daily lives. #ProudlySA #SACP
I always enjoy connecting with up and coming leaders to help shape their future.



At the @StandardBankZA's #AfricaUnlocked2025 Conference, four industry giants—Sim Tshabalala, Dr. @mteton, Dr. Charles Mbire, and @Mngxati didn't just talk leadership; they challenged Africa to rethink it. From digital disruption to youth inclusion, from hope-filled leadership…
People who cannot be trusted to run a Spaza shop for a minute are appointed as mayors; municipal managers; hospital CEOs; MECs and SOE CEOs. As South Africans, we then expect from them, service delivery not chaos. Crazy isn’t. The joke is on us. #ProudlySA
In most African cultures age and position grant baseline respect. Personal character, wisdom or contributions are secondary. In essence respect is not earned. We don’t hold our leaders accountable. We revere them. This is the root cause of our socio economic problems. #ProudlySA
Standard Bank’s Africa Unlock Conference held at Norval Foundation in Cape Town.




This week there have been attempts to get the decision of SCOPA to hold a Committee Inquiry into the RAF rescinded. They have failed. There will be accounting for public funds under oath, in public. We will upload every document the public is entitled to see on the parliament…
Congratulations & well done to Ms Thozama Gangi Power Station General Manager; her entire Medupi team; Bheki Nxumalo & Dan Marokane for fixing Unit 4 ahead of schedule. We now have all 6 units powering SA as they should. #Diversity #OperationalExcellence #Eskom #KeepGoing

The President’s lack of action against Min Nkabane has left a bad taste in the mouths of many South Africans. His party’s fate depends on how he handles Min Mchunu this Sunday. People are tired of lies & corruption. They expect a strong ethical tone from the top. #ProudlySA
Most South Africans are tired of the corruption that is destroying their country. General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has freed their voice. SA’s leaders better focus on the substantive issue he has raised instead of process. Unfortunately they often fail to read the room. #ProudlySA
Invitation for candidates to serve on the board of Eskom Holdings. Closing date 18th July 2025. The term of the current board ends on the 30th September 2025.

General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi is a great role model. In SA where most people are aware of those who are corrupt but choose to keep quiet, his decision to speaking out is exemplary. Our beautiful country can still be saved. Each of us must just do our bit. #ProudlySA
Well done to the Springboks for the 42-24 victory over a strong and determined Italy. Thank you to Cumesh Moodliar for being a great host. My wife and I connected with wonderful people including a family friend Lincoln Mali. #GoBokke
