Professor Malegapuru Makgoba recently released a tell-all book titled Leadership for Transformation since the Dawn of South Africa’s Democracy: An Insider’s View. In it, he reflects on his experience of South Africa’s transformation for over 29 years after his return to the country, having worked for 13 years in the UK.
He was the first black Deputy Vice-Chancellor of one of South Africa’s English-language and metropolitan universities. He later joined the South African Medical Research Council, which he headed between 1999 and 2002, and was involved in developing South Africa’s AIDS strategy and the South African AIDS Vaccine Initiative. More recently, he was the health ombudsman tasked with investigating the Life Esidimeni tragedy.
NDLOVU UNPACKS DIGITAL ECONOMY IN NEW BOOK
Philanthropist and businesswoman Lelo Ndlovu has annexed the digital space with vigour and pride. Last Saturday, the young entrepreneur published her go-get digital book titled Digital Marketing. The jamboree was held at the packed swanky The Venue in Melrose Arch. Guests included the business cartel, attorneys, property developers and agents. Fortunately, for Ndlovu, the book sold quite well during the launch, proving it won’t be on the shelves for long.
