Jabu Mabuza taught me that if we wait for someone else to fix things, we are doomed to further despair, writes Bonang Mohale

Dr Jabulane Albert Mabuza was my boss. We persuaded him, and he ultimately agreed, to be the single face of big business as the president of both Business Unity SA and the CEO Initiative as well as the chair of Business Leadership SA. He, in turn, later personally strongly persuaded me to come out of my early ‘retirement’ at age 55, to be the CEO of BLSA, the organisation that was founded in 1960, even before I was born.

He reluctantly agreed to be included in the five names that BLSA submitted to the Treasury for consideration to the Eskom board. He ended up as chair in January 2018, of a board consisting of true patriots, determined to end the crucible of state capture, SA’s single systemic risk and the fourth means of production. We did initially suspend KPMG, Eskom, Transnet and Bain Consulting, in that order for aiding and abetting state capture.

I will, forever be grateful to you for being such a great teacher, amazing and good quality human being. Thank you for touching my life in such a meaningful way and impactful manner. Teaching me and many more that if we wait for someone else to fix things, we are doomed to further despair. That our purpose must be to do something, no matter how small ... it’s the sum of the parts that creates a greater whole.
