HUMILITY, treating everyone with the same level of respect, whether they are the king or queen or prince, or president, or someone that cleans toilets, continuous learning, and seeking psychological help are some of the tips, secrets, and values shared by Sekunjalo chairman Dr Iqbal Surve, which he described as key to success.

Dr Survè was speaking at a recent gathering of nearly 500 employees who represented various companies under the Sekunjalo Group, at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, where he expressed gratitude for everyone's contribution to the company.

He shared secrets to success, building integrity, and making an impact on those around you. That, with all his crucial points skillfully embedded in little stories and humour, which occasionally left everyone in stitches.

Detailing the family values he lives by — treating people the same, and key lessons learned as a medical doctor while treating patients and working with political prisoners, before venturing into business, he said family values have to be practised, as difficult as it is to do so.

Dr Survè said these values opened doors for him that he never imagined.

He said there was a time when he and other doctors had to look after political prisoners, those who were tortured, and who spent a long time in prison.

It started with what was then the rehabilitation programme using post-traumatic stress disorder tools, developed in Scandinavian countries to help people that were destroyed, because yes people are very brave when they go through that - being in prison for 15, 20, 25 years and more for their beliefs and their values, Dr Survè said.
