Master KG celebrated in visual art piece
From musicians to mavericks, humanitarians to health heroes, musicians to chefs, our country has an abundance of talented people that have achieved remarkable feats across all walks of life.
Paging through the book, one will discover how, for instance, Maponyane overcame his childhood stutter and grew to become a distinguished speaker, how Jeremy Loops connects to his creative flow, or how Siba Mtongana sees optimism as the secret ingredient in her culinary creations. One can only wonder at how Khuli Chana reclaimed his personal power after a near-fatal accident or how Farah Fortune went from a struggling single mom to being named Africa's most influential woman in media.
Describing himself as a"visual alchemist," Marc-Gregory spent two years creating the collection, assembling South Africans across different walks of life that have achieved incredible accomplishments and those whose stories have the potential to inspire others to pursue their own potential. While they all share traits of authenticity, clarity of mindset and dedication to their success, there are many stories that will pleasantly surprise you.
"When I embarked on this journey two years ago, little did I know how much magic, creativity and dexterity was waiting to be explored. I've learnt so much from these accomplished people and hope that this collection will inspire all South Africans to follow their dreams and acknowledge the greatness they see in each other.
In Good Company, the book is powered by Old Mutual Insure, in partnership with Reach for a Dream. All proceeds from the book will be used to support children with life-threatening illnesses. Additionally, In Good Company, the exhibition is now on exhibit at Sandton City, where a selection of over 40 of the art pieces can be viewed, together with an online audio guide. Some of the pieces come to life using augmented reality.

OP-ED: Why the Bangladeshi taka is now the South African rand’s most important cross-rate (Part Two)The minimum wage for a textile worker in Dhaka, Bangladesh, is 8,000 taka – or R1,400 a month. This covers 4.4 million workers in 4,620 factories and does not include overtime. South Africa’s minimum wage – based on an eight-hour day, 22 days a month – is R3,520. It is a wide disconnect, and unsustainable as the production world of low- to mid-value manufactures becomes ever more Asia-centric. South Africa is often advertised as a ‘cheap Europe’ production base: in reality, it is an ‘expensive Asia’.
