ENDORSEMENTS

The leadership lessons from King Shaka are both universal and timeless! They are applicable in many spheres of life, across time and space, across culture and language. It is in this that the power of this book lies – its lessons can lead to better business leaders, better community leaders and indeed better political leaders in a variety of situations. – Thulani S. Gcabashe, Chairman, BuiltAfrica Holdings. Chairman, Standard Bank (2015-2022)

The book is a stark reminder that we must continue to chronicle, archive and curate our own stories. A vivid demonstration, beyond any shadow of doubt, that we must, as a matter of course, highlight and celebrate our very own. – Professor Bonang Mohale is the President of Business Unity South Africa (BUSA), Chancellor of the University of the Free State

The leadership lessons contained in this unique book are totally relevant to today’s complex, fast-moving world where we are fighting in the “battle of business” every day. A must-read for South African leaders and strategists. – Brand Pretorius

This book not only pays tribute to the role played by women in our illustrious history but it reminds us of the great leadership qualities that our ancestors left behind as our legacy. This book is an invitation for us to reclaim our strength and wisdom to triumph under any circumstances. – Wendy Luhabe
