In this episode of Wisdom Personified Conversation with Dudu Msomi, Sarita Martin, speaks to Dudu. She has known Dudu for 20 years since they met as MBA classmates at the Gordon Institute of Business Science (#GIBS).

#DuduMsomi is the Founder and CEO of Busara Leadership Partners, a boutique strategic advisory and consulting firm that has been redefining integrated leadership, strategy and governance across Africa. She is a respected #businesswoman, #leadership #strategist, and corporate governance expert, with a passion for developing ethical, effective, and eternal leaders.

Her academic achievements, boardroom influence, and commitment to uplifting others make her one of the most respected voices in #African leadership today.

Dudu Msomi is more than a leader—she is a catalyst for change.

One truth stands out: leadership is not about titles or positions—it’s about purpose, clarity, and courage.

Through her words, Dudu reminds us that ethical leadership is not negotiable, that governance is not a tick-box exercise, but a moral compass, and that empowering others, is not just good for #business, it’s essential for human progress.

Her wisdom has challenged us to think deeper, lead better, and show up with intention in every space we occupy. Whether in the boardroom, in our communities, or within ourselves—Dudu Msomi calls us to lead with integrity, intelligence, compassion and impact.

Whichever meaning you ascribe her surname, Siphesihle, called Sihle for short, Penny Ndlela has her own unique, distinguishable way of moving through this Life.



Sihle originally hails from Empangeni, in Northern KwaZulu Natal, but grew up in eSikhawini in Richard’s Bay. Penny says #money has never been the driver for the ventures she pursues in business because it comes in abundance when you find purpose. Sihle is a serial #entrepreneur.



In the late 1990s she joined Lemon & Lime, a customised gifting company which evolved into an integrated communications and marketing #business. Penny bought out her partner in 2000 and later exited and sold the business in 2009. In 2013, Penny started Soul Traveller, a faith-based travelling experience for the black market in South Africa.
