Hard Truths: The GNU, Shell’s exit, corruption & ethics - Professor Bonang Mohale

- South Africa urgently needs ethical leadership to heal a divided nation. That has been the call from business icon Professor Bonang Mohale, who is on an international list of the 100 most reputable Africans. In this interview with BizNews, Professor Mohale warns the new Government of National Unity (GNU) that leadership is “not an opportunity for enriching self”. He slams the lack of prosecutions of corrupt politicians and concludes “that there is no political will” and that “maybe, just maybe, the people who call themselves our leaders are accepting that stealing, cheating, bribery, State Capture is their form and definition of redistribution of wealth”. Asked about the Steinhoff scandal, he also slams big business for introducing corruption to local politicians as far back as former President Nelson Mandela’s release from prison. And, as a former Chairman of Shell - that is now disinvesting from South Africa - he describes how there was “absolutely no progress” on a multi-billion rand intiatiave “because of ideology that held us hostage”. Setting out the priorities for the GNU, Professor Mohale says: “Service delivery is the job description of these politicians.”

Excellent analysis of the South African political environment. He should be a primary consultant to the GNU!!!
This are black sellout who are representing the white monopoly capitalist
Well said Sir. If we had more leaders taking your values we would have a great nation.Still members in Gov have lined their pockets. Thank you so much Sir.
What an interesting talk.
Truth sets free and righteousness prevails..
Thank you Sir.
Bless you...🎉
Great chat. Where is this man who needs to be on the governments backs all the time. Salute.
Black sellouts sound good to every coloniser
Thank you Prof Bonang Mohale . Well articulated ! Brilliant Prof.
Had the great pleasure of being a customer of Bonang in the early 90's ,when he still worked for OTIS, what an outstanding Gentleman, and he remained true to his ethics all the way to the top, I salute you Professor, ❤
Dankie Prof, brilliantly honest truth
STOP ANY CORRUPTION - ONLY WAY FOR SOUTH AFRUCA - Prof. well said.
Well said Professor, loved your input
An inspirational brave soul.. thank you for uplifting us all professor with your far sighted ethics.❤nameste’
😂 I would say the same if I was benefiting from white gatekeepers
It is really time now for people to stop calling current day whites, colonialists. Let us rather not divide iyr nation, let every person do their best for each other, let the most qualified person for the job, do the job. With proper education and us all sharing our talents and knowledge, we all prosper. It's time now guys. Let's just do it.
One problem about this notion, if reperetions were not implemented to completion, the victims of colonialism remain victims to date. Hence it may be hard for them to accept that they are now not colonised. It pains me that the CODESA 2.0 that we just witnessed with the power being handed back to the grand children of the NP, there will be a further 30 years of a delay of preparation and an erasing of whatever transformation that took place in the previous decade or so. Then the cries about land that is not returned, systematic and neo-colonialism, the covert economic apartheid will remain a frustration for both Blacks and White of this country.
It does not help when you have racist remarks from whites. i was appalled at the racist remarks and absolute resentment coming off some Whites towards Gayton Mckenzie's appointment. You even have a musician Kiffnes whatever his name is, saying Gayton will steal this and that even though Gayton is far richer than him. It's a two way street this racism and division.
@@musawenkosimakhoba9028I'm assuming you also believe that if you squeeze a stone like you squeeze an orange 🍊 then blood will drip out of it. Yes?
@@jimmycricket5366 some analogies don't fit certain contexts. So one ends up using a lot of words to say nothing.
@@musawenkosimakhoba9028 If you don't understand the nuances of the analogy that's not my fault bro.
What a wonderful gentleman. Great show.
This sellouts they sound good to every land thief
@@DumaM-ir7rk You a bad loser 👎
I am very proud of the formation of the GNU! That president CR had the courage to venture in sharing the governance of our diverse nation! I HOPE that every one of the 7th cabinet will work together and make our country proud and prosporous
What a wise man. May political leaders listen to people like him.
It's sad, but competent, well rounded ppl like this wise man, is enemy no 1 to most egocentric politicians.
SA business community is just as corrupt. The difference between ambition + greed is, a greedy person desires things theyre not prepared to work for. In the end - it became a snake biting into its own tail.
The presenter look like she's disappointed by the guest today😂
@@SidumoNgetushe only likes the narcissist Neil de Beer - that’s why he is on so often. Still don’t understand why Biznews waste their time with someone like Neil
Thanks professor Mohale my former schoolmate in Katlehong. I am glad we share the same idea of rebuilding our country.
The DA is most certainly NOT the former colonizer. If you say it often enough, maybe even God will believe it?
Thank you Prof. Pointing out the truths of all this corruption, its a disgrace how the poor suffers and in 30 years it got worst with all the crime, illegal immigrants, murders, bad service delivery all over its disgusting!
A brilliant opening statement by him. They are called to serve, NOT to enrich themselves.
Hi Bonang. I saw your intellectual and activist leadership in the BMF in the nineties. Great to see you're still leading.
If the government was serious about eradicating corruption and poverty why are men and women like this Prof. overlooked 😢
Amen!! man says it like it is... come on ANC its time to change your ways or step aside and let those that want to see SA great do what needs to be done...
This man should be part of the GNU ❤❤❤ our country is being lead by a greedy people
Spot on Prof thank you for the analysis.
You to direct Prof. Well said 👏 👌
Amen to opening remarks by Prof. How can those who were corrupt turn around and become ethical? How to expunge this bad characteristic inherent in them. It starts at the top! Only God can change men's hearts, the fear if the Lird is the beginning of wisdom! Well expressed, Professor
And they sit in the highest seats of the Cabinet and Parlement. When will this evil be stopped
Great respect for this man who has such broad knowledge and insight, however, as a white South Africa with 11 generation of South Africans before me, I was saddened to hear him refer to the DA as colonialists... no we are NOT - I am not a DA member, and would love to see unity amongst all peoples - The ANC did not hand it over - they lost the majority because of the corruption and mismanagement while they were in power for 30 years. When will we start to accept that we are ALL South Africans, one nation under GOD ALL wanting to pass on a prosperous and florishing legacy to the upccoming generation - GOD BLESS our beautiful country - land of our birth! Roughly 48% did not vote, which is an indication that they have no confidence in any of the parties... That 48% actually won the election. We need to put ALL our effort together to make our country safe and peaceful.
Wisdom at its best.
Chris thank you for a great and informative program,
And your choice in choosing people who are so wise.
Sir thank you for your insight, and I am amazed to see not just your humility, and love for your people, but your love for God.thank you .
Agree with you Professor 100%.
A refreshing narration of common sense by a man who certainly thinks for himself and doesn’t regurgitate the socialist diatribe of the politicians of our country. Very insightful.
Thanks Biznews for bringing on some new experts in the field.
May our leaders humble themselves and seek wisdom from God to govern our beloved country to bring prosperity for all, stability, order, safety and a raceless country where we are all equal. Learn from the past and build a better future today for our children and grandchildren.
Long live Prof Bonang Mohale!!!!
Why aren't people like this running our country. Very sad
Person like him anc will never listen to his concerns
The first man to make me understand why Scorpions were closed down. 20 years later.
I enjoyed this interview, heartbreaking account of the 5 year old boy who died after being shot after running to his father 😢
Since when is 30% an acceptable mark
30 years into democracy it should be unacceptable that poverty still has a black n feminine face 🥹 - professor Bonang Mohale
Will we as white people in this country never be able to put the colonialist label behind us? After nearly 500 years of history, are we not as much a part of this country as anyone? It saddens my heart to hear this great man dividing our country in these terms. 😔 Please can we put racial divides behind us and move forward towards a non-racial South Africa as was recently committed to by our President and all his cabinet ministers and MP's?
Think its in the DNA..meaning..in the hart brain and soul and that it will take longer than expected if ever? But GOD ALMIGHTY always be in CONTROL Amen
Yes I am amazed at the support for this interview when he has insulted a whole group in this country and then supports fracking in a simple word which would have enriched himself and destroyed our land.
I think Apartheid caused this...I mean our grandparents and parents went to war in Namibia against the "Evil Apartheid Boers"...still to this day I don't understand why your ancestors chose to be evil
@@Kgaugelo70 Absolutely agree with you. However, you used the key word - "ancestors". Why paint the current generation with the same brush? Do black people really believe that the whites would return to Apartheid if they could? That's absurd! We have recognized the evil of that system and chosen against it. Why would we go back now? All I cry for is for the rift between black and white to be healed, so that we can really live in unity as the "Rainbow Nation". But if we keep regurgitating the past we will never get there...
@@gordonicus4637 get your point... black people might not believe that apartheid may come back, but they definitely believe that economic apartheid still lives on....we literally have the most unequal society and most unemployed youth in the world...I'm a capitalist but this is definitely a recipe for disaster waiting to explode in our faces...
Wow!
Fantastic insights, thank you Prof
Wow Prof. I look forward top hearing more wisdom from you mKhulu. We need people like you in government or advising government. BizNewsm more of this wisdom please
Wow Prof thank you for the honest and insightful analysis,,,,,listening to your input could not help it but cried. Thank you for your honesty, May izinyanya keep you protected 🙏
Brilllllllliant. Thank you Professor. FORWARD is the only way, guided by international history 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Power corrupts even the good intended
Oh what a refreshing person! Pls dtay in play and reach the people in the muddle of decision!
Brilliant
Well said!
Why is he not in cabinet? We need leaders with sense like this. Well spoken and educated. Thank you
Sir you speak many truths, but remain obsessed with the wrong things. Your previous oppressors! Move on, for the sake of all in this country. We are ready to help and try make right the wrongs of the past. ❤
The very size of the cabinet, expanded to accommodate extra politicians, shows you whether the politicians have the county's interests or their own interests at heart.
100%
Excellent!!
What an interesting, enlightening discussion! I really enjoyed listening to Prof Mohale's measured and passionate opinions on these relevant issue concerning our country. Thank you!
So ! so ! so !!! spot on !!!! I salute you Sir !!!!! Thank you.
It was lovely listening to him but where was he and people like him for the last 10/15 years. Why didn't they voice their opinions against the ANC in an aggressive manner, surely they could see what was happening to our country? Maybe these people were/are happy with their high paying jobs living in high end gated communities whilst the rest of us have to dodge bullets everyday to and from work...
He was always a vocal and fierce critic of corruption, leading the way as a leader of Shell and BUSA. And where were you when we were seeking insight and wisdom from him during that time?
@@voscowbinder9458 well he wasn't heard by anyone as Shell decided to walk out of SA..
@@RG-jr8ym The ANC only seems to respond to their own delusions and the allure of corruption. This is our unfortunate reality. However, if by visibility you mean running against the ANC alongside progressive figures like Thuli Madonsela and Mamphela Ramphele, then absolutely. That was a missed opportunity, especially in 2014. Otherwise, he has been tirelessly advocating for change.
@@RG-jr8ym I got you.
ANC have shown they don’t care about the people.
Shocked and disheartened by his comment about handing our country back to our former oppressors. Disgusting. Can we please move forward towards an inclusive society and a better country for all.
Refer to time 20:30 if you missed it.
Well said Mr. Bonang hats out to you viva sa viva ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very truthful and powerful message. 👏🙏🙏🙏👍😴
God's gift to South Africa. I rank him in the Archbishop Tutu's league. Madiba was corrupted and the flood gates opened.
TRC NO PROSECUTION; ZONDO COMMISSION NO PROSECUTION; GENERAL LOOTING AND MANY OTHERS NO PROSECUTION. ZUMA AND BATHABILE ARE HONEST THIEVES, THEY CAN TELL BUT WILL NEVER DO SO.
Watch this space for the Diminished Influence for ANC.
I doubt TUTU would sell out the other parties of the GNU as colonisers. TUTU cannot be compared to this man who in addition to insulting a whole part of this nation, supports fracking. So he would happily have our land destroyed too.
Wow, well put sir!
Shell didnt only leave South Africa..they also left Saudia Arabia and other countries..its not unique to South Africa. Also Shell should not be dictating our laws..BEE is going nowhere
This is awesome!
What a breath of fresh air and reality! President material!
What a great interview with a very wise man... will the South African people ever wise up to the tragedy that is called the hierarchy of the ANC oligarch's?
as #PostANCatrocities continue...
we #CryBelovedSouthAfricaCRY
Amazing orator, story teller! Full of wisdom! Thank you ntate’Mohale
if DA former colonisers
and ANC the corrupt what hope is there ...???
the last colonial expedition to south africa was 1820
the decendents are south african after 200 years.
South Africa needs smart minds of this calibre. Prof you're power within yourself. Wish you were lined up into SA leadership 😊
Excellent words from the Professor
This dude should be president!!
What a wise man....
Our president promised rsa pit toilets are a thing of the past,has he reported back......
He well articulates the conundrum of ministerial appointment, this is an oozing wound that as a country we have to settle to. It's lucid that ministerial appointment is like an educational system that isn't matching the job market dynamics.
Rand lords,the markets are happy with ramadollar and mantashing 😂lets see gnu towards 2026
You are a criminal from the moment when you commit a crime ... not when the judge find you guilty.
Prof raises thought-provoking issues...💁🏾♀️🤗🤷🏽♂️🤔🤷🏾♀️
Always love professor Bonang. 🙏
Bottom line..'Do unto others as u wld have them do unto u! ♡
Corruption starts in the heart & minds & is fueled by greed & entitlement. It does not depend on colonial big business to awaken it if the person is of good moral standing.
However mean and angry the oxen are they must all obey the crack of the whip to get the overloaded cart moving to deliver the goods,so must these appointed officials work,they do us no favour they do their paid for duty,get to work,our people deserve so much better.
Excellent analysis prof❤
6:53 Did not take him long to blame the private sector and business. Is the problem not a case of people in general that have been raised and taught not to steal and be ethical.
Ethics or Moral leadership?
Ethics are a set of never ending rules. What the UN prescribes in their doctrines to promote their agendas, a rules-based society. A professional is someone in whose skills society holds in high regard. A professional is not by virtue of membership or association in a Professional Organisation. The Professional Organisations are gatekeepers often established to protect its members sometimes to the detriment of the public interest and judicial process.
We have wise man still living amongst us.....his name is Mr Bonang Mohale
Prof. For President. Well said 👌👌disgrace A. N. C.
What former oppressors people are being currently oppressed. Were is all the Tax money for the past 60 years. Tax is theft. Every one involved will take accountability.
The host asks how can SA rebuild the economy while trying to meet "social needs". Her question seems to be how can they insure the continued high premium life styles of the "haves" while meeting the minimum needs of the majority "have nots". I appreciate the professor's answer that first there must be transformation that includes the majority in the economy. The idea of an arrangement that shares the wealth and sustains the country is an idea the "haves" just can't or won't fanthom. The majority must insist on sharing in the country's resources. As the professor said this requires an ethical administration, one whose goal is to build the nation, the people. I suggest beginning with at least a lot more public housing, and public utilities of water & electricity for all as a floor. A competent ethical administration with nation building in mind should be able to accomplish this. Profits will be necessarily less but this is the cost of sharing the nation's wealth to build the nation. These would bring a lot of stability, & so much more civilized and humane than massive police & buldging prisons.
When he mentions the Mandela matter not sleeping in his house in soweto, am reminded of one politician who uttered in parliament that he was framed by one of his own to have filled his mind with the mindset of imperialist.
The Prof should also talk about the hard work, long hours,blood, sweat, tears and skill that it took to build up the companies and SOE'S that SA had in 94, they built from the ground up they weren't existing businesses that were taken away from someone, he should also acknowledge the current transformation that he and the government speak of always seems to be around what can be taken away from White's who have built companies and simply put them into black hands, everyone can see what the so called best of the best black business leaders have done to the SOE'S, their destruction is 100% transformation related
❤❤❤
Thank🎉 you Sir i wish you were our President.
👌🤞thanks professor
In addition to his wisdom, Bonang is a very kind human being 😊
Thank you Prof, for calling them what they are formerf colonisers.
We had the tools to deal with Zuma in the form of the scorpions, however we allowed the monsters to disband them and replace them with the hawks who ultimately submit to the politicians, that opened the flood gates.
Great respect.
Professor should be president 😤
ANC government chased away total. shell. bp exxon-mobil ....SAB sappi mondi anglo gencor .great trade and industry policy
Good interview but where I don't agree with the Prof is where & when was the DA part of the "oppresors?". It's origins are actually from the Hellen Suzman party who was the biggest anti-apartheid party(progressive) and stood her ground against the national party in parliament/national assembly.
Please check it out my claim, the national party joined the anc Aug 2005
I agree that education is key in allowing us to move forward as a country.
Very good interview ❤
Well said Professor ! Our people welfare is of utmost importance !!!
