Ignorance the Greatest Enemy of #Africans, the Achilles Heel threatening Thriving in an #AI world
"To attain knowledge, add things every day. To attain #wisdom, subtract things every day." – Philosopher, Lao Tzu Prince Mashele is a prominent #SouthAfrican political analyst, author, and commentator known for his critical and hard-hitting perspectives. He holds a Master's Degree in Political Studies from Rhodes University, having previously earned a BA and Honours Degrees from the University of #Venda. Prince is the Executive Director of the Centre for Politics and Research (CPR), a South African think tank. Prior to this, he served as the Head of the Crime, Justice and Politics Programme at the Institute for Security Studies (ISS). His deep understanding of political machinery is informed by his time as a researcher at the Institute for Global Dialogue and the Institute for Democracy in South Africa, as well as working as a speechwriter in The Presidency and for the Pan-Africa Parliament. He has also lectured in Political Sciences at the University of #Pretoria. As a sought-after consultant and commentator, Mashele is a prolific contributor to major South African newspapers, including Business Day and the Sunday Times. He is the author of The Death of our Society and co-author of the influential book, The Fall of the ANC: What Next? We can feel bombarded with numerous perspectives. This accumulation often leads to confusion, not clarity. It is important to appreciate that your understanding of your political context will not necessarily be achieved by adding another analyst’s view to your repertoire of knowledge, but by subtracting the noise. Filtering out bias, discarding sensationalism, and focusing only on the core, verifiable truths and ethical consequences of #leadership decisions. This reflective subtraction allows you to discern the lasting pattern from the fleeting chaos. And sometimes you get there, by understanding the values and motivations of the analyst. Hope this episode, gives you a glimpse into Prince Mashele and his core values and motivations that influence his perspectives. Until the next insightful and stimulating #WisdomPersonified Conversations with Dudu Msomi. Be love-filled, compassionate and conscious. #DuduMsomi #SouthAfrica #Politics #Guptas #MadlangaCommission #corruption #ZondoCommission #CyrilRamaphosa #PaulMashatile #economy #ethics #Israel #Palestine #DonaldTrump #Iran #ANC #politicians #DA #coalitions #Strategy #governance #development #Dubai #SaudiArabia #gold #krugernationalpark #politicaloutlook

They reside in IAN FUHR! What a compassionate and wise voice of our time. A true privilege to speak to him. Ian Fuhr once said: “Racial intolerance has dented our rainbow nation. Shouldn’t stop us from building rainbow companies. Respect and tolerance are the keys.” Ian Fuhr is the #CEO and Founder of The Hatch Institute, with an extraordinary entrepreneurial career, is a seasoned keynote speaker who shares his invaluable lessons and insights on #culture, self-development, #leadership, customer service and race relations.

On behalf of many who are conscious and the many who may never know the positive impact he has had and continues to have in our country, South Africa. I am grateful for the human being he is, aside from the business success he has enjoyed. His humanity and training still reverberates in the exceptional client service of the therapists he trained in Sorbet long after the change in ownership. I know many that have gone on to be entrepreneurs. Themselves. I hope you are inspired to make a conscious and positive impact in every space you occupy. Regardless of your title and position.
