Dr. David Molapo inducted into the BOAF-10,000 Points of Light

BOAF is pleased to induct Dr. David Molapo, a leading management consultant, educator, and renowned motivational speaker, to the 10,000 Points of Light (POL), an initiative that is aimed at building a Bank of Hope, whose currency is the people who shape and define its personality and character.

Mr. Frederick Koomson said: “It is my distinct honor and privilege to induct Dr. Molapo into this grouping of forward-leaners who share a common interest in rebranding the Continent of Africa from a purportedly dark continent to an aspirational brand of dreamers and doers.

Dr. Molapo possesses a rare and unique ability to provoke, ignite and inspire change starting with the driver of change, the individual, using a fine combination of humor, an incredible stage presence, and his personal life experiences in his offerings.

His reach goes beyond the 1 million people in South Africa each year to the rest of the world.

Imagine you were asked to look at the African skies and it is midnight, and you were asked to identify only 5 Africans who stand out as motivational speakers, there is no doubt that Dr. Molapo’s name will find itself in the group.

It is rare that on leadership and corporate matters, there are few Africans who provide the kind of inspiration that is needed to raise awareness of the urgency and need to have something to look up to at a time when we are so divided on small things when strategic questions remain unattended to because all too often strategists are missing in action.

At age thirteen, David was imprisoned for political actions, but while in prison started an incredible process in which he changed his life, which led to the successful businessman, leader, and father that he is today.

David became a finalist for the Junior Chamber International Award of Ten Outstanding Young People of the World in August 1994 and has appeared on Who’s Who in South Africa since 1995.

In July of 1999, he was awarded the prestigious PMR Silver Arrow Award for Best Motivational Incentive and Business Consulting.

In addition to the above achievements, David is one of the most sought-after motivational speakers and holds two of South Africa’s most admired and respected awards, the Young Achiever of the Year South Africa, and the Four Outstanding South Africans Award.

David speaks on many subjects, some of which include Quality Management, Communication, Entrepreneurial Skills, Team Building, leadership, Affirmative Action, and Accepting Change. He also authored many books, which include Growing up Spiritually, the 10 Exciting Keys to Success and If You Are Not Growing, You Are Dying.

David’s energy and topics play big roles in his success as a motivational speaker. In addition to holding two of South Africa’s most prestigious awards (the Young Achiever of the Year South Africa Award and Four Outstanding South African Awards) as well as appearing on Who’s Who in South Africa since 1995 to date, he has consulted the Top 100 Companies.

David Molapo’s former designations have included being a non-executive director of Dimension Data SA and many other major corporations, like South African Airways and Spoornet.

Dr David Molapo is a top management consultant, educationalist, and renowned motivational speaker.

By using his stupendous combination of humour, his incredible on-stage energy, and experiences from his own life, he captivates audiences with his message of hope.

David projects his message onto the nation through his public appearances, books, and his shifts in the media, which motivates, inspires, and guides more than a million people in South Africa each year as a result.

He uniquely provides his audience with the confidence and tools necessary to change their lives and the lives of those around them.

His journey of change started when he was imprisoned for political activities at the age of thirteen. Great leaders are often great rebels first.

He is the author of 15 books and a leading thought architect of our time.”

Dr. Molapo said: “I am humbled by this gesture which I accept without any hesitation. I share the view that Africa’s better days are yet to come.

The human factor is the motive force for any change. Technology has bridged us in a manner that permits content to cross borders seamlessly.

The disruptive technology that characterizes our daily lives provides a disincentive to those who believe that knowledge can be weaponized to the advantage of those who think they possess it in abundance.

The future of Africa is written in the story of each person who refuses to surrender the future to fate.

When I had of the POL initiative, what immediately came to my mind was the idea that we are all in the trenches, and we all count.

Indeed, the words of the authors of the declaration of independence who said: “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are equal and are endowed by the creator with certain unalienable rights and among these are LIFE, LIBERTY, AND PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS,” remain true to me as they did when they were authored that the Africa I want is the Africa in which we all have a place in it without any exceptions and exclusions.””
