So grateful to God that at 58 years old I can still squat and stand without any inhibitions. If truth be told, aging is not a curse, but just another word for living. My plan is to be a beautiful work of art in my old age. 🙏🏾💕

I bumped into Dr Mmusi Maimane MP today at the SiGMA Africa Summit and we had a good conversation about education. Let me say something that l some people find uncomfortable: You do not have to agree with a politician to speak to them, you do not have to share their ideology to influence them and you certainly should not limit your influence only to people who think like you. Don’t get me wrong, I am not joining politics, but I respect those who choose that path because they carry the responsibility of public decision-making. There are ears in society that will listen to politicians but may never listen to academics, activists or entrepreneurs. So if we care about education & the future of our young people, we must be willing to engage widely. Influence should not have boundaries, it should have purpose. #EducationMatters #Leadership #InfluenceWithoutBoundaries #MakeEducationFashionable #AfricaRising

Humans seek comfort, but growth lives in discomfort and that’s why I chase it. - I have summited Mount Kilimanjaro - Abseiled down Table Mountain - Went cage shark diving and I can’t even swim - I do lots of crazy scary stuff! - Sometimes I even stand under a cold shower just to feel the shock of it. Discomfort keeps me alert, curious and alive. If you want to grow, don’t just tolerate discomfort, seek it. #Antifragile #Growth #Adventure

I have just landed in East London to speak at the MEC Excellence Awards to celebrate teachers and school principals who contributed to the province’s historic matric pass rate. I found a fellow African woman selling these outfits (umbaco) on the corridor just before exit and I could not resist getting one. Bazalwane!!! Yhuuuu! I have been looking for a proper Umbaco forever and I finally found it! This is it and it is very comfortably replacing the African print outfit that I had planned to wear for the event later today. 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 #supportlocalentrepreneurs #85percentispossible #celebratingexcellence

They told us: Work hard. Climb the ladder. Be competative. Chase success. So we did. Then in April 2023, I retired at 56 and realised the race was optional. Retirement is not about stopping, it’s about choosing your pace, choosing your projects, choosing your people & choosing your time. I don’t wake up at 3am anymore. I don’t sit in traffic. I don’t apologise for resting. I don’t compete. I set the pace. I turn 60 in 246 days and this is the freest I’ve ever been. #Countdownto60 #AntiFragile #DesignYourLife

Doing final rounds before heading back to the city of work🙏🏾🚜 Farming is no easy exercise bantabam. It requires faith in God, trust in people, and wisdom with money. However, I will say, in the end, it is a fulfilling and rewarding exercise❤️👌🏾

It was a cold, rainy morning, so I went to encourage and say goodbye to students that took the earliest shuttles to campus❤️ I went with over 100 chocolates and to my surprise, the shuttles were full I even ran out of chocolates! UCT students braved the weather and went to study!

We have some vicious dogs on the farm and then there’s Rambo, who is not vicious, but just excellent at taking instructions. So we need a chicken for lunch and so I showed Rambo which one to catch.
