The business fraternity remembers Sello Lesupi, who, together with a few doyens of black business people, championed the unity between black and white businesses on amicable and respectable terms. He passed away this week.

Sello Lesupi, North West’s business leader and president of the National African Farmers Union, passed away on Monday.On Monday, the sun set on one of the most illustrious and industrious sons of the province at the edge of the Kalahari.

Their resilient spirit has squeezed the result, but so narrowly that sometimes, the continent’s 1.2 billion people would view their arrival with scepticism.Africa, the third biggest emerging market, Lesupi would always maintain, needs control of both its infrastructure and intellect. The untapped and unreconstructed mass market has proved to be a sitting duck for a few decades now, with Africans in pole position to grab any economic opportunities.

Worldwide, the agenda has always been that everybody wanted to be at the top-end of the economy, and none wanted to swop horses in midstream. It was survival of the meanest and quickest. Yet, over the unfolding decades, stock markets crashed, insurgent terrorism took flight, and huge corruption scandals would rock the bigger economies.Sello Lesupi was big in stature and very gentle and caring, especially for his friends and colleagues in the SMME sector.
