"This too shall pass.... Anything you can concieve and believe you can achieve (CBA)". Inspirational

[@matikamc2]

This is how a CEO should be. No hubris, conscientiousness, aware that they are not infallible, dizzying emotional stability, very calm, approachable and unleashes the latent gifts in subordinates. We should be using such talent in our attempts to turnaround our nation.

[@tawandamwedzi5629]

This nation doesn't need him for now until another dispensation is in office. For now we're fine with M2% Ncube.

[@theclassics7513]

Zimbabwe is beautiful and has many talented individuals - Zanu Pf is letting us down as a country. Watching Trevor shows gives me hope that we will build the greatest country on earth some day

[@fanchochirimba2601]

This is the BEST ever interview for me. Ralph you are an eminent leader, humble and intelligent. Trevor these interviews are awesome, enjoyable and worth more than any book. Hats off to Trevor for this programme and Nyaradzo for sponsoring.

[@joedzenga7389]

CBA -(Conceive , Believe and Achieve), challenge yourself and put yourself in an area of discomfort......master thyself and engage with the world honestly...very powerful wisdom..Thank you Ralph and Trevor

[@Nharembozha1]

What an interview and what a journey! I love that Ralph sees himself as a "work in progress" and the fact that he is incredibly self aware. He also strikes me as a humble person. Those qualities are non negotiable in the pursuit of true greatness. He is going places. This young man is not done by any stretch of the imagination! Thank you for yet another wonderful interview Trevor!

[@charlottemutandwa7834]

Authentic Intentions Personal board Learning curve- always learn Self mastery Many key takeaways from this conversation. Loved it. Thank you Ralph & Trevor

[@nhlanhlancube7440]

Sticking to the roots...Mum and Dad teachings

[@finsensetv]

This has been inspirational and enjoyable. I first encountered Mr. Ralph Mupita in 2007 in a story that was featured on the cover of FinWeek. The story was about black non-South African executives who were shaping the corporate and economic landscape of South Africa. The story covered Mutumwa Mawere, Strive Masiyiwa, Ralph Mupita, Pfungwa Serima and Zenzo Lusengo among others. So I was pleasantly surprised when I saw Mr. Mupita on your show and it was even greater pleasure to listen to your conversation with him. It was definitely a business master class as your said and I especially like his disposition of never being complacent and perpetually learning despite his notable success. I look forward to the next bill of your show which if I am not mistaken features my Group Chief Executive Mr. Sim Tshabalala.

[@vusankiwane7582]

This too shall pass ... Thank you Ralph. Very inspirational. Nice one Trevor.

[@qwest2030]

Extremely informative discussion. We'll done Trevor for pulling this together. Tendai understands his business and this is the leadership style we need in Zim.

[@clementmpushe5957]

I' can't see why you wouldn't be considered the next captain of Anglo American plc once Duncan Wanblad vacates his position. I think you've already passed the interview with that reference of running a telecoms company being analogous to running a mining company with respect to regulatory milieu. This was such an inspirational convo, thanks to both of you.

[@consymuri479]

Sekuru Tendai, great interview. You're doing tremendously well and you brought quite a number of memories when we visited your family. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@alexmhembere]

You just reminded me of my favorite teacher... Mrs Basely.. A favorite of most MJS 80's students..
