Alex van der Heever - The Power of Relationships
Alex is a new generation of South African speaker, ultimately personable but capable of utterly breaking down cultural barriers in the work place and fostering a generosity of spirit amongst team players. Its not a methodology he offers but rather an ability to inspire the audience and open their minds to their potential as individuals and as a team. He is a down-to-earth and passionate man who, through his love of the bush and the deep bond that formed between him and his tracker Renias Mhlongo, has learnt the true meaning of the power of relationships. With humour, sensitivity and surprising humility Alex demolishes the walls that isolate each one of us, using the real life story of his life as a game ranger at Londolozi Private Game Reserve and his relationship with Renias, his tracker, to convey transformational wisdom and insights.

Derek Jooste The Business Revolution -
Team Mastery Taught Through the Mysterious Form of Authentic African Music
"The African way concentrates on teamwork, it is not a culture of 'me and my' that is so prevalent today where the defensive attitude prevents people in teams from unlocking their potential. The magic of teamwork is that the individual in the team becomes greater because of the team.
Teamwork Innovation Co-operation Performance Improvement

Gerhard de Lange - "Dominance Through Co-operation - Lessons from Lions"
The Safeguarding and Aggressive Defence of Territory and Resources
Adapt to an Ever-Changing Environment Building High Performance Teams Eliminate the Competition
Gerhard had been involved in wildlife conservation for more than a decade. During 1993, 19 free-ranging lions were introduced into the Pilanesberg National Park. Fascinated with them, Gerhard made it his hobby to follow them and learn more about their behaviour.
From his experience, Gerhard has drawn spellbinding analogies to drive home the importance of dominating and protecting our territory and building high performance teams.

Marie says, "When we have an overseas delegation coming to South Africa, we know that we cannot lose if we include one of our "Africa Series" speakers on the program. It is not unusual for the company to then invite the speaker back to their home country to share the message with their colleagues, staff or customers."
Some of the companies that have done this includes Nortel, Microsoft, Caltex, Legal and General, R J Temple, BACS, Richmont and Canada Life.
