Regenesys Business School had the privilege of hosting one of SA’s newest thought-provoking leaders during a seminar in June 2008.
Mr Brian Khumalo, delivered a moving and mind-boggling talk, challenging stereotypes and proposing Africa’s position as one of leading a new movement or rather development of spiritual intelligence and leadership. The West had its time in industrial revolution and civilisation (Realm of the physical and infrastructure), China and Japan (Asia and Far East) have led the technological advancement (Realm of Systems and Processes). Now Africa’s (and the Middle East’s) time is looming (in the realm of people-value and human consciousness).
Mr Khumalo suggested a line of development that progressively ascends different kinds of intelligences, each a necessary condition for the following one; Physical Quotient (PQ) leads to Intelligence Quotient (IQ), then to Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and ultimately to Consciousness Inteligence (CQ).
Success will depend on how this change is embraced. We look forward to hearing more from Mr Khumalo in the near future, as he contributes to the shaping of the thinking about our land and the world.

Mr Khumalo is spot on with his comments – the West has had its day (and made a pretty good mess of the world, in the process) – and left Africa with a sad & troubled legacy. Africa needs to be genuinely embraced by Africans including the few white ones who see it as it is. In South Africa in particular we are failing dismally in too many areas of commerce and government – it’s a big component of our legacy but somehow we are not addressing this reality – our priorities are all wrong and we have too many people in the country only concerned with addressing their own interests without understanding the long-term implications of our day-to-day decisions or lack thereof. Nevertheless, there is no doubt about the fact that Africa needs to define its identity, get its priorities right and develop a long-term strategy which identifies education as a number one priority.
