The Financial Mail ran a cover story just before Christmas profiling successful South Africans overseas. Here are links to each of the individual profiles: Stanley Bergman, Vincent Mai, Gail Kelly, Manfred Gorvy, Sean Killa, Clive Calder, Marius Kloppers, Mark Weinberg, David Potter, Roelof Botha, David Altschuler, David King and Sidney Brenner. For some reason, Elon Musk did not make the FM’s list. He did, however, get named as Inc. magazine’s entrepreneur of the year. You can read the Inc. profile here.
It’s a pretty stunning group, though the list only scratches the surface. Vincent Mai and Stanley Bergman, both in New York, have agreed to be part of the GSA initiative.
