In Southern Africa, markets are not inherited, they are earned. Business success is not won by chance but by following unshakable laws.
Across cities like Johannesburg, Lusaka, Maputo, Gaborone, and Windhoek, a quiet revolution is unfolding. A new generation of business leaders is rising: focused, strategic, and fearless. These are the empire-builders of tomorrow. Yet despite their brilliance, too many ventures fall. Ideas die before they scale. Talented entrepreneurs drown in red tape. Promising CEOs are derailed by informal politics and outdated systems.
This is not just business. This is warfare, and this book is your strategy manual.
Built for the Southern African Business Arena
The 10 Commandments of the South is not a textbook of theory or imported jargon. It is a battle-tested field guide grounded in the realities of doing business in the Southern African region.
