Saki Macozoma Shares How Anti-Apartheid Leader Desmond Tutu Restored His Faith

Macozoma is now one of the richest men in South Africa as the chairman of both the mobile phone operator Vodacom Group and international investment company Safika Holdings — headed by former political prisoners who sat alongside a young Nelson Mandela, who later rose to become South Africa’s first democratically elected president.

Macozoma was jailed for five years at Robben Island in Cape Town after leading a student protest during the apartheid regime. He also served under the leadership of Tutu during the archbishop’s term as the secretary general of the South African Council of Churches and was mentored by Mandela.
