South Africa
Thabang Skwambane is co-founder and executive director of Kaelo Consulting, a successful health and wellness company specializing in HIV/AIDS programmes and founding Director of The Lonely Road Foundation, an organization set up to help rural communities manage their own Orphan and Vulnerable Children (OVC) problems. Born in Gaborone, Botswana, and raised in Namibia, in what was the former South West Africa, during the Apartheid era, Thabang now lives and works in Johannesburg. He has a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting and Finance) degree from the University of Cape Town, Thabang went from working for Mark Shuttleworth to banking and left a successful career at Standard Bank as a Merchant Banker to get involved in the struggle of our era, preserving our quality of life. He is supported by leading South Africans like Clem Sunter and Justice Edwin Cameron and in a show of support before his epic journey Cyril Ramaphosa says in an e-mail to Thabang: “It is a rare commodity to find someone who is willing to fight to preserve and enhance the lives of others so selflessly”. He has committed himself to fighting not just HIV/AIDS but also other “silent killers” that South Africans neglect to prevent such as Diabetes, Hypertension and Cholesterol. His belief and that of Kaelo, a company that manages almost 1,000 HIV positive patients and many more Chronic Disease sufferers, is that if you keep the breadwinner of the family alive and productive, the entire family unit has the best opportunity of survival. Kaelo Consulting is a testament to South Africans and Africans that HIV/AIDS is not a death sentence and through Thabang and his partner’s dedication it has made an indelible mark on South African society. Kaelo continues to enhance the value of life through their chronic disease management and clinical offering nationwide to both the medically insured and uninsured. Through his work in the HIV/AIDS space, Thabang has become passionate about “the Lost Generation”, a generation of young Africans who are without love, support, means and opportunity. With 60,000 child headed households in South Africa alone, he predicts that the incidence of crime, prostitution and domestic violence will only escalate until all South Africans mobilize into action “We all need to stop complaining about what is wrong and instead ask ourselves what it is that we should be doing about the problem? How can I play a role in making our country and our people strong again? It is not a racial issue it is now a societal issue, every one of us who has even a little bit will become the target of those who have nothing and they will take from us!” Thabang says. Thabang, got on a bicycle, alone and unsupported and cycled to Mt. Kilimanjaro (Moshe) in Tanzania. This journey of 5,456 kms took him through 6 countries and at the end of his journey he climbed Kilimanjaro with friends and family. He, experienced great hardship during this 3 month escapade, he was robbed at knife-point, endured the cold, the heat, illness, wild animals, was hit by a truck, suffered dysentery, lived with the local people and lost 14 kilograms. His challenge was to maintain a substantial distance per day, 110 kilometers, and to arrive at the foot of Kilimanjaro within a certain time frame. He has been recognised for his achievement by the media, his peers and was selected as a finalist in the Johnny Walker Striding Man Search competition. He can now be seen speaking to multitudes of people about the importance of “mobilizing to save our country”. Thabang’s journey is a poignant reminder of the life of OVC’s and the challenges that they are faced with as they go through life alone and unsupported and at the end of their lives they are faced with a mountain to climb as society requires them to contribute equally to those who have access to opportunities. The Lonely Road Foundation has raised over R1,200,000 and is looking to build a strong network of volunteers, NGO’s, CBO’s and FBO’s to provide rural and underprivileged communities with the access that they need. “We will ensure that the state is given the best opportunity to carry out its mandate according to the constitution.” Thabang says “The work has only just begun, my journey although long and hard is only the beginning of an even harder challenge, a war against an enemy we cannot see and who has already struck leaving us with millions of Casualties of War!” Thabang explains passionately. On a lighter note: Thabang was a finalist in the Johnny Walker Striding Man Search competition – 2008 Thabang was awarded 6th place in GQ best dressed men of South Africa – 2009 Glamour magazine’s female readers voted Thabang as the man they would want to marry – 2009

South Africa
Braam Malherbe has an infectious energy that is fed by his life-long passion to protect the environment and to inspire change. Braam has achieved two world firsts by running the entire Great Wall of China, a distance of 4218 km, at a pace of a marathon a day for 98 days, as well as the entire coastline of South Africa, a distance of over 3200 km. The expeditions raised over R2.5 million for Operation Smile, to provide corrective surgery for children born with cleft lip and cleft palate disfigurements. He represented South Africa in the 768 km unassisted ski race to the South Pole with Peter van Kets in December 2011 / January 2012. Braam’s adventures are extraordinary and he is a riveting motivational speaker, applying lessons learnt in his experiences to talk about themes relating to goals, courage, leadership, teamwork, and purpose and making the impossible, possible. As a conservationist and Honorary Ranger for South African National Parks, Braam is involved in counter-poaching and finding sustainable solutions to save the rhino from extinction. He co-founded the Table Mountain National Park Volunteer Firefighting Unit and he is actively involved in many conservation initiatives – making it is life’s mission to fight environmental irresponsibility and the destruction of our precious natural resources. Braam is a Director for the Institute of Accountability in Southern Africa (IFAISA). He is also an ambassador for many worthy causes including Woolworths MySchool MyVilliage MyPlanet, Operation Smile SA, WESSA (Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa) and the Amy Biehl Foundation. Braam Malherbe has been a regular presenter on the television program, 50/50 and he has also been contracted to present an international nature series for the National Geographic channel. Braam challenges all of us to ‘Do One Thing’ (DOT), to make a positive difference to our planet. He has developed a social media site and application called DOT, which will be launched in 2015 to drive environmental action. Braam has received the following awards: <ul> <li>Men’s Health 2010 Unsung Hero</li> <li>Enviropaedia Eco Logic Eco Warrior 2012</li> <li>City Press Top 100 World Class South Africans 2014</li> </ul> Braam is a motivational speaker and MC <em>Braam’s keynote topics include:</em> <strong>Nothing is Impossible</strong> Braam believes that if you have big dreams, plan well and take big risks, then nothing is impossible. Let Braam show you and your team what it takes to make that ‘extra’ happen and to start realizing your full potential. <strong>Leading with Courage</strong> Leadership takes courage. Lieutenant J Putnam Junior said: “Courage is not the lack of fear but the ability to face it”. Braam believes that you first have to believe in yourself and to be comfortable in your own skin to be able to stand out from the crowd and to be open to criticism. Only once you trust yourself and you have the faith in your own integrity, others will too. True leaders stand up in the face of adversity and they do the right thing. Respect is not given, but earned. <strong>The ‘I’ in Team</strong> The classic cliché goes, ‘there is no ‘I’ in team’. Braam believes that without the ‘I’ in team, the individual does not fully understand or appreciate their value to the team. In his talk, Braam draws on the many life lessons that he has learned in the African bush, the vastness of the Gobi desert and the frozen nothingness that is the high plateau of Antarctica. <strong>The More you Give the More you Get</strong> After a relatively successful career, at the age of 27, Braam Malherbe – Extreme Adventure was declared insolvent. He lost his father shortly thereafter and his fiancé left him. Dejected and his self-esteem shattered, he went off to the mountains to commit suicide. “I felt utterly insignificant, but I realized that the greatest challenge was not to die, but to live a life of purpose”. “When you do things for a cause beyond your own selfish satisfaction, you dip into a deeper, much more powerful pool of motivation. You move from success to significance.” <strong>Making Change Work for You</strong> One of the key words that we need to urgently embrace is ‘change’” says Braam. Charles Darwin put it succinctly: “It is not the strongest, nor the most intelligent that will survive, it is the one who most accepts change”. In this profound and life-changing keynote, Braam draws on his own experiences in the African bush and the many lessons that nature has taught him. “The myriad of species that interact to make this incredible planet as diverse and beautiful as it is, have all evolved over billions of years.
Kirsten Landman
First African Woman Dakar 2020
South Africa
Johannesburg, Gauteng
South Africas’ Kirsten Landman is not your average sportswoman. The 28-year-old South African competes in the male dominated sport of Hard Enduro, but this has never held her back. She has made history by becoming the first female to finish extreme events such as Redbull Romaniacs, Sea to Sky, Redbull Megawatt 111, Redbull Braveman and The Roof of Africa. But there is so much more to her story than these achievements. For Kirsten, competing in one of the most physically demanding sports in the world, and being one of the only females to truly excel in such a place, has been a passion of hers from a very young age. Living in South Africa and riding in its harsh, rugged and technical terrain and competing against men, has built an appetite for always aiming higher and realising her dreams. After finishing school, Kirsten studied and worked to fund her own racing and training until she was picked up by her first sponsor in 2011. Her career kicked off properly when she entered her first ever extreme enduro, the Roof of Africa in 2012, where she managed a bronze finish. In 2013, Kirsten’s abilities were duly noticed by South Africa’s most prestigious off road and enduro team, KTM SA. She joined their team and began competing nationally with them from there in both the enduro and off-road teams. Later that year in June 2013, high flying Kirsten’s career suffered an early setback with a life-threatening accident while racing the Dessert 1000 National in Botswana. She crashed at high speed and landed on a tree stump, sustaining life-threatening internal damage. Due to complications with the medical treatment in Botswana, Kirsten was only treated 36 hours after the accident once being airlifted back to South Africa. Her pancreas was severed off from her small intestine, and due to the delay in treatment, all of Kirsten’s organs had gone septic. Being placed on life support and put into an induced coma, her recovery was like a roller coaster with many complications along the way. Nevertheless, she made a full recovery and returned to racing more motivated than ever, driven by her what was always her destiny. In 2014 Kirsten made her first international appearance at Redbull Romaniacs, finishing the bronze class and being the highest placed female. Since then, Kirsten has made history by becoming the first and only female to finish international extreme events such as Redbull Romaniacs (Silver), Sea to Sky (Gold), Redbull Megawatt 111, Redbull Braveman and The Roof of Africa (Gold) in all male dominated classes. Kirsten’s goals in 2018 shifted to the next level. To well and truly conquer her fears after the accident in Botswana, she knew she had to tackle the biggest off-road race of them all…the Dakar Rally. 12 days, 8000kms and a fear of speed…The Dakar Rally This Dakar is no ordinary race. The Dakar is known as the toughest and most dangerous race of all time. 12 days of racing 800+ kilometres per day, extreme cold, pain, fear and possible death are all the things the piolets of the Dakar will need to face. Dakar 2020 was no different and resulted in a death of a professional rider – Paulo Congalves. Kirsten rode a very strategic and clean race and successfully finished the Dakar Rally in 55th overall and 3rd women overall. Through this success, history was made. Kirsten was the 1st of 2 South African women to ever finish the Dakar Rally for 2020. Kirsten finished the Dakar Rally in 55th position overall and 3rd overall in the women’s category, thus becoming the 1st ever African to finish the Dakar Rally.
