A defining moment in my career
WB Yeats said, “Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold,” which holds a harsh lesson for me. I took my radio broadcasting talent for granted. Because it came so easily, I began not to pay it attention and focused on what others considered important. I had a change management consultancy that made me look important and took me away from the radio.

My greatest lesson in life is never to take for granted what comes to you naturally and with ease. Because that’s what you are called for. Since I made the microphone the centre again, all things fell into place. My master’s degree, the awards and accolades came as a result. Even my pursuit of a PhD will be achieved behind the microphone … brace yourself for the first Dr DJ in the world! God has given talent to you for a reason, use that talent but most of all multiply it.

    As an activist and a businessman, I experienced several defining moments in my career. I completed my MBA at Wits Business School in 1971. I could not find any meaningful employment as the predominantly white corporate business sector would not employ people of colour in senior management positions.

    There is no doubt that applying to business school can be a very stressful undertaking. However, even after my graduation more than ten years ago, I can say Wits Business School was a great fit and special for me with quality time spent.

    Having always had a deep interest in science, I first qualified as a chemist, and thereafter at a later stage as an engineer. In order to broaden my capabilities, I started to lecture evening classes at the Vaal Triangle Technikon, now the Vaal Institute of Technology.

    Bali Island, Indonesia, was in its usual element in December 2013 – beautiful and tranquil with the warm Indian Ocean waters and hospitable local inhabitants blending seamlessly with the hot and humid weather. Yet, enjoying the warm Bali weather was only peripheral to my visit.
