About The Author
Peter Mehlape hails from rural Limpopo and over the years has made his mark as a top African business leader. He started his career as a registered nurse and rose through the ranks to lead various prominent companies in the medical technology field, making a significant contribution to the healthcare landscape across the continent. Peter wears many hats, including being a founder and co-host of the podcast, Off The Clock, patron of Chapter Zero Southern Africa (an integral chapter of the Climate Governance Initiative developed in collaboration with the World Economic Forum) and a fellow at GIBS Business School’s Centre for African Management and Markets (CAMM).
With a career dedicated to enhancing people’s physical and emotional well-being, particularly the vulnerable and marginalised, Peter’s philosophy can be summed up in Cicero’s well-known quote: ‘The good of the people is the chief law.’
Through this book, he hopes to be true to his name, and bless the people seeking to embark on the journey of walking on forbidden waters!
