The Big Questions Must Become Personal | Prof Bonang Mohale | TEDxHilton

Professor Bonang Mohale reflects on leadership, democracy, inequality and Africa’s unfinished promise. Drawing from his personal journey and the themes behind his autobiography Coming in from the Cold, he challenges audiences to stop outsourcing society’s biggest questions to politicians and institutions, and to make them personal. His talk is a call for ethical leadership, shared responsibility and the courage to leave South Africa better than we found it. Professor Bonang Mohale is the Chancellor of the University of the Free State and a Professor of Practice at the Johannesburg Business School. A towering figure in South African industry, he serves as Chairman of The Bidvest Group and ArcelorMittal, and was recently appointed as the Sherpa for the Values 20 (V20), advising the G20 on human centered policy. The best-selling author of Lift As You Rise, Professor Mohale is a globally recognised advocate for ethical leadership and economic transformation. His lifelong commitment to mentorship and social justice has earned him numerous accolades, including the African Union’s Lifetime Achievement Award. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
