Langalezwe Madonko, who is co-founder and investment principal of private equity company Summit Africa, confirmed that he does not have the range of qualifications claimed on his CV, including from the prestigious London School of Economics . Despite these being listed prominently in numerous versions of his biography, Madonko also confirmed to News24 that he has never worked for McKinsey & Co and JP Morgan.South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future.
