Vusi: Business & Life Lessons from a Black Dragon

Written by Vusi Thembekwayo

Narrated by Iyan Mankwayi

"I have learned the truth about the world: that it isn’t as round as a tennis ball, and it isn’t shaped like itself. It is shaped the way we shape it, according to the way we see it, the way we mold it to our ambitions and our destiny. I know the color of who I am. I am a black man, running for my life, for my freedom, for opportunity born from struggle, possibility born from sacrifice. And I am running, too, for my father, who never became what he hoped to be, and who never got to see what his children would one day become." Maverick. Leadership genius. Self-made millionaire. Dragon.

Reviews for Vusi

Vusi is such a story teller and a think star ! I like how the stories are cohesive with modern lessons yet personal enough to see oneself in the lessons/ narratives. Loved the narration as well.

This book was unputdownable! What a story. What rich lessons.
Interesting views on lands… sounds like the race issue, while busy trying to prove that we as so called balaclava people are good enough, we expend our very finite Ubuntu resources in educating others while they continue to make strides in things that matter.

Great book, it’s good to listen to something you can relate to as a South African.

Absolutely marvelous and life-changing. This is a book I honestly think should be taught in school reading clubs and we should encourage children to learn from this book. 100% my best book of the year.

Impressive book and informative, I like how Vusi goes back to the challenges he faced in the board room and used it to strive above normal. He's thought on excellence and how we think is quite impressive and eye opening.
