Series 2, Ep 1: The Sipho Nkosi Business Leadership journey

Sipho Nkosi is a South African business icon who has created a mining empire, but his father’s attitude to the challenges of Apartheid South Africa is what shaped his mission.
“I saw my role as healing people, to heal the nation … to heal my team and I think we’ve gone a long way to creating people who mirror what South Africa could be if we did things correctly.”
His story is punctuated with the good, the bad, the ugly … and famously iconic names. Graham Boustred, Gavin Relly - these are the calibre of people who mentored Nkosi as he negotiated the corridors of power in an unfairly-weighted system in South Africa at the time.
Regarding his ideas about business, Nkosi maintains that leadership is not the result of an event, but rather a continuous process. “... over time as you embrace certain things, as you learn certain things ... then your eyes open up to the fact that you can do something; you can be somebody; you can make a contribution to the country”.
In this face-to-face interview, Nkosi shares his journey to being a business leader, without any convenient self-censorship. Along the way he delivers personal insights and gems of wisdom - very much like the riches delivered by the mines that he guided for so many years.
In partnership with FNB, Moneyweb presents this bespoke leadership video series with top business people. The interview draws on the person’s life, failures and the lessons they have learnt on their journey to the successful leadership positions they hold today.

So this generation of 60 something year olds have this black English dialect. I hear it from Mr Nkosi, Cyril Ramaphosa, Sizwe Nissans, Tokyo Sexwale and many more. But they are great businessmen
