I would urge any reader who thrive on obtaining knowledge on how to start or persue your dream of own business.
Intriguing sad at times, anxious when he loose his job and kids are small and everyone turn their face the other way. Doors closed in his face begging for assistance.
He did not give up. He has become one of the most iconic business men of our time.
Honestly, I excepted a lot especially for an autography. I expected that by the time i put the book down, I would get to know who the real Mamkhize is , her world but noooooo, she is still secretive, doesn't reveal much still, and one wonders why she even wrote the book. The book is more about the Brother Sbu and a reader ends up knowing more about Sbu than Mamkhize then she should have just renamed the book and said something about a tribute to my brother. Not worth the read honestly. It leaves you with more questions than answers
