The Struggle doctor who became a global voice for justice and transformation

IN A WORLD choking on crisis and crippled by false messiahs, principled leadership has become the rarest currency. Dr Iqbal Survé is not a politician, nor does he play to galleries. He is a product of the Struggle, a doctor of the people, and one of the few post-apartheid figures who understood early that freedom without economic justice is a betrayal. In an era where ego masquerades as leadership, Dr Survé represents something dangerously uncommon - clarity of purpose, moral courage, and the spine to act when it matters most.

Having witnessed apartheid’s brutality up close, treating the tortured, the broken, the forgotten, Dr Survé didn’t retreat when political freedom was declared. He understood that the real struggle was only beginning.

He built Sekunjalo Investment Holdings into a multi-billion-dollar African group with more than 200 investments across 40 countries.

Yet it is not the size of the portfolio that commands attention, it is the intent behind it. Dr Survé has consistently championed what he calls a “gentler capitalism”, a value-driven model that puts people before profits, purpose before power.
