Friday at Mpekweni promises to be a truly exceptional day of insight, inspiration, and connection—bringing together some of the finest minds and hearts in our country to share their wisdom and lived experiences.
Our programme features an extraordinary lineup: Jonathan Goldberg will take us into his remarkable coffee conversation with Richard Branson, offering powerful lessons on leadership and possibility. Renowned cricket coach Adriaan Birrell will unpack the mindset and consistency behind leading his franchise to four SA T20 finals in as many years—securing three championship titles along the way. We are also privileged to hear from Thembelihle Ngcai, a courageous disability activist whose voice continues to challenge and transform perspectives, alongside a deeply meaningful and thought-provoking presentation from Verso.
Interwoven between these keynote moments are stories of Rotary in action at its very best: discover how one club raises over R1 million in a single evening; explore the life-changing impact of the Rotary Medical Exchange Programme; witness how a water and sanitation global grant has transformed an entire community; and learn how International Friendship Exchanges open doors to the world—building lifelong connections across borders.
This is more than a session—it is an experience of shared purpose, powerful storytelling, and tangible impact. A day designed to energise, inspire, and remind us of the extraordinary difference we can make together.
This is one not to be missed. Your ticket allows you to enjoy Friday with us, including teas and lunch.
