I am seeing more and more conversation taking place about the the threat the gambling industry is to our communities. So I am posting my conversation with Trevor about this issue again. Again, I urge you to listen to this, especially if you’re struggling with gambling. Trevor and I spoke about online sports betting. Some of you know I lost my brother to suicide because of his addiction to it. Without me knowing, Trevor stopped accepting betting companies as advertisers on his podcast. In this clip, he and Ryan (who’s off screen) make some very sharp points about how these companies operate and the sneaky, manipulative tricks they use to get people to spend all their money. After my brother took his life, his therapist called me and said of all addictions, gambling is the most likely to lead to suicide. It destroys families, lives and obliterates futures. I would like heavier and more regulation when it comes to sports betting when it comes to advertising, accessibility and sponsorship. People are not saving money, not paying school fees etc, because of gambling. The government is simply not doing enough to curb this pandemic. See the whole podcast on Spotify or YouTube, What Now? With Trevor Noah.

While some Afrikaaners are spreading misinformation, here is what one is doing. Every corporate leader in South Africa can learn a lot from Rassie Erasmus. I know, I keep saying. The man has an almost instinctive compassionate grasp of our history, its complexities and contradictions. Yet, does not get caught up in the emotion of it all. He mixes his compassion with practical solutions that lead to the best possible outcome. He looks at the cracks of our fractured country and thinks, “How do I mould something greater out of these cracks?” And what better outcome than back-to-back World Cup victories? He does not resist change. To him, it’s not a threat or something that dilutes what already exists. It’s an addition that makes the team better, stronger. (See what I did there?) What sets him apart as a leader in this country, is that he does not assume someone from a different background knows less. Because he listens. Proper listening, not that typical corporate “nod-and-ignore” nonsense. For example, why do Black and Coloured kids lean toward the backline? He didn’t assume laziness or “lack of instinct”. He asked. He learned. Grew up kicking balls on dusty patches with no tackling bags? He refuses to see that as an inconvenient problem to moan about, he sees it as context for him to work with, and turns hardships into edges. He stands in the fire with his team until they all forge something new and better. For him, transformation is not just an inconvenient box-ticking exercise. It’s not about reluctantly meeting a quota or leaving players to sink or swim. His mindset is: How do I set up everyone to win? And boy, is he winning! Corporate South Africa can learn a thing or 15 from him. In fact, Rassie should be running masterclasses in leadership. In fact, Rassie for President.
