Book 6: To Whom Much Is Given



This is the most widely known book I've ever written. I finally had the courage to self-publish and had a very memorable book launch on the 25th of November 2015. It also took the longest to write because the 2nd half involves conducting interviews with certain leaders and asking them critical questions about leadership in the 21st century.

The crux of the book is about pointing a finger at black leadership in South Africa to play their part to drive transformation. I initially wanted to title it: "I Expect More From You" based on the poem by my dear friend Vangile Gantsho. I requested permission and she politely declined, however she did attend the book launch and performed the poem.



The book is split into two, so it is technically book 6 & 7 in one. I also spent time reflecting on my time as Head Girl of Linpark High School back in 2002. The lessons from leading a racially divided school, and how they've served me later in life. For the book I had the privilege to interview Dr Reuel Khoza, Ntate Bonang Mohale, Annelize Weppener, Mam' Futhi Mtoba and the well known public protector: Advocate Thuli Madonsela.
