On this compelling episode of Nongcebo McKenzie: The Podcast, our guest is acclaimed businessman, industrialist and author Sam Montsi. We are in conversation about his memoir, Defying Barriers.
From growing up between Soweto and Lesotho, navigating political upheaval and exile, Defying Barriers, is a deeply personal account of overcoming exclusion, political instability, apartheid, and corporate resistance to become one of Southern Africa's respected business leaders.
Our conversation explores the defining moments that shaped his journey and the values that sustained him through adversity. Sam reflects on growing up as the son of Basotho immigrants, finding opportunity in Lesotho, returning to apartheid South Africa, and breaking racial barriers in corporate leadership before establishing Montsi Investments.
Beyond the remarkable milestones, Sam shares the principles that have guided his life: resilience, integrity, accountability, authentic leadership and investing in future generations.
