    Victor Sekese, Chief Executive Officer of SNG Grant Thornton, joins Dr Maanda Tshifularo for a powerful and timely conversation on redefining value creation in Africa. Guided by his bold Vision 2030, Sekese is championing a growth model where profitability and purpose are not in competition — but in partnership. With more than three decades of leadership across the public and private sectors, Sekese shares why sustainable value must extend beyond shareholders to communities, ecosystems, and future generations. As rapid technological change reshapes the next five years, he unpacks how leaders can turn disruption into competitive advantage — and why rigorous ESG reporting is no longer optional, but essential for credible and inclusive growth. From creating jobs that transform families, to responsible banking that unlocks entrepreneurship, to renewable energy projects that power schools and clinics — this episode highlights the multiplier effect of businesses that choose to grow with intention. A recipient of the SAICA CEO Award (2023), Sekese reflects on leadership, legacy, and the responsibility corporate leaders carry in shaping South Africa’s economic future. This is a masterclass in super clarity: building profitable enterprises that truly uplift society.
