Prof. Mohale shares insights from his extraordinary leadership journey, his role as Sherpa of the global V20, his work chairing the Eskom Electricity Crisis Roundtables, and decades of shaping ethical, purpose‑driven leadership across Africa and the world. He reflects on the prestigious awards he has received — including honours from SAICA, EmpowaWomen, the African Union, The Future of Leadership Awards, the Not Alone Foundation, SIOPSA, and being named among the 100 Most Reputable Africans.
