Wisdom Personified - Conversations with Dudu Msomi

GOOD ENGLISH GETS AN #AFRICAN SOUTH AFRICAN A BROADCAST JOB - DesireeChauke

In a world loud with noise and urgency, there remains a rare voice that informs with grace, listens with empathy, and speaks with quiet strength. Because true journalism is not only about breaking stories — it is about revealing humanity. In an age of constant headlines, there is still power in a calm voice, thoughtful questions, and stories told with humanity. This is a space for truth, reflection, and meaningful conversation. Because beyond the spotlight and soundbites, a gentle quiet spirit remains the kind of beauty that never fades. That is Desireè Chauke. Desiree Chauke is a seasoned broadcast journalist, Senior Producer and Anchor for the South African public broadcaster SABC. Desiree was the first African English prime-time newsreader on South African television. She holds a B.Com. Marketing Management degree from UNISA, Management Advancement Programme from Wits Business School and a Corporate Governance qualification from the University of Johannesburg. I hope you enjoy this beautiful and wise conversation from a quiet, gentle spirit! Until the next episode of Wisdom Personified Conversations with Dudu Msomi. Be compassionate. Love-filled and live consciously. #Humanity. #Award-winning. #DesireeChauke #BreakingNews #WisdomPersonified #dudumsomi

#Mentorship: When the Student is Ready, the Teacher Appears

Randall #Pinkett and Jeffrey #Robinson in their book, Black Faces in White Places: 10 Game-Changing Strategies to Achieve Success and Find Greatness said, “If experience is the best teacher, learning from someone else’s experience is a close second”. I concur. Which is why I established the Busara Leadership Mentoring Journey. Today I am talking to two alumni of the Busara Leadership Mentoring Journey, I call ‘Busareans’. #Busara means #wisdom in Kiswahili. So in short. These are the Wise Ones Alfred Mashiya is an #entrepreneur in financial services and retail.

Lebo, as she is commonly called is a Chartered Accountant by training. She is presently the Economic Development Analytical Specialist at Seriti Green. #Leadership is not measured by how much we receive, but by how much we return to the world with gratitude.
