THE SAMSUNG MAN’S PATH TO SUCCESS With former CEO & President of Samsung Africa, Sung Yoon
As Samsung Africa’s former President and CEO, Sung Yoon was a first-hand witness to the company’s remarkable journey to becoming a global world-leading brand. Despite countless challenges, he turned Samsung’s Africa business into a success within four years. In a career spanning more than three decades, he contributed in numerous capacities, heading up sales not only in Africa but in three different overseas assignments.
In ‘The Samsung’s Man’s Path To Success’ he explores how to take a top brand forward and into new territories – both in terms of product, sales and marketing and in terms of new markets – and how Samsung successfully fosters a healthy, robust and infinitely creative culture.
‘The Samsung Man’s Path To Success – Turning Crisis Into Breakthrough’ is available online and at all good book stores.

ELECTRICITY CRISIS AND A WINTER AT STAGE 8 With Professor of Physics at the University of Johannesburg, Prof. Hartmut Winkler
Due to a shortage of generation capacity, Eskom announced Stage 6 loadshedding will continue to be implemented until further notice.
Breakdowns amounting to 17’481MW of generating capacity continue, while the generating capacity out of service for planned maintenance is 5’657MW.
Over the past 72-hours a generation unit each at Duvha and Medupi power stations were returned to service. In the same period, two generating units at Kriel, as well as one unit at Koeberg power stations were taken offline for repairs. The delays in returning a unit to service at Kendal, Kriel, Medupi and Tutuka power stations have contributed to the capacity constraints.
