Abstract
The Department of Student Life and Governance in partnership with the UJ Library invites you to a discussion with Dr Tshidi Gule, the author of
Rough Diamond – Your First Class Ticket to a World of Mentorship
About the book:
When despondent 4th-year medical student Tshidi Gule dialled ace businesswoman and celebrated beauty queen, Basetsana Kumalo’s number back in 2004, little did she realise that this seemingly small gesture would be the start of a profound mentorship relationship, spanning more than a decade.
Rough Diamond is an inspiring, info-packed journey told through the eyes of Dr Tshidi Gule, unveiling the intimate and unorthodox mentorship relationship with Kumalo, the first black Miss South Africa pageant winner of the newly democratic South Africa, crowned in 1994.
Rough Diamond hones in on the life skills, and golden leadership and business tips that Kumalo generously shares with Tshidi, inspiring a unique legacy of sisterhood not just synonymous with business but with the mysteries, joys and challenges of life.
