Life Lessons From a Self-Made Man (Sipho Nkosi) The Family Finance Show
-
- Business
Sipho Nkosi is the Chair of Sasol, a director at Sanlam, and co-founder and chair of investment holding company Talent10. He was one of the founders and CEO of Eyesizwe Coal which later became Exxaro Resources.
Sipho, most impressively to me, is a self-made man and someone who has achieved all this with the odds heavily stacked against him. He grew up in rural KwaZulu-Natal with only a basic primary education. Despite this, and with no special resources or opportunities, he invested his time and effort to get a university degree and has since gone on to achieve much professional success in life. His achievements are even more remarkable given the deliberate restriction of educational and job opportunities for black people during apartheid.
He tells his story with such humility and grace and offers us all inspiration to achieve our own goals, whatever they may be.
In the story of his childhood playmate, Peter, I was reminded of the important role we play as parents, in raising our children with good values, such as equality and respect for all people no matter their background. Please enjoy this inspiring episode!
