Coming in From the Cold: An Autobiography

From Daveyton to Davos, Professor Bonang Francis Mohale has defied odds, challenged the status quo and used every opportunity afforded to him to carve his own way in the world. More than that, he has chosen to take as many people as possible along with him. Having already written two books on business, leadership and ethics, he now puts pen to paper to share a more personal story – his own life journey. In Coming in From the Cold Bonang reflects on the experiences, decisions, principles and people that have shaped his journey – the good, the bad, the joyful and the painful. With thoughtful vulnerability, he opens a window into his private world, from a childhood enriched by his grandmother's proverbs to meeting Susan, his lifelong love, in high school and marrying her at just 17. For the first time, he shares openly and publicly his philosophies on family and parenting, the intense fear of poverty that fuelled his career ambitions, and the memories he holds most dear. As he reflects on the forks in the road that led to a level of success unimaginable to a young boy from the township outskirts of Benoni, he also offers pearls of wisdom to those who wish to learn from his legacy. Bonang Mohale is the Chancellor of the University of the Free State, former President of Business Unity South Africa (BUSA), former CEO of Business Leadership South Africa (BLSA), Professor of Practice at the Johannesburg Business School (JBS) in the Faculty of Business and Economics, and Chairman of two listed entities, The Bidvest Group Limited and ArcelorMittal, as well as SBV Services and Swiss Re Corporate Solutions Africa. He is a member of the Community of Chairpersons (CoC) of the World Economic Forum and author of two best-selling books, Lift As You Rise and Behold the Turtle. He has been included in the Reputation Poll International's (RPI) 2023 list of the '100 Most Reputable Africans'. The selection criteria are Integrity, Reputation, Transparency, Visibility and Impact. And he is the recipient of the 2023 ME-Vision Academy Award for Exclusive Recognition in Successful Leadership.
