Leadership in Africa: Faith, Resistance, and Leadership
Dr Sidney Luckett, a scholar, ordained Anglican priest, and former activist in South Africa’s Mass Democratic Movement.
Recruited into the underground structures of the African National Congress (ANC) during apartheid, he worked closely with the legendary Archbishop Desmond Tutu, witnessing firsthand the power of faith, resistance, and unwavering commitment to justice. He also interacted with many other historical ANC figures, including Chris Hani, Thabo Mbeki, Jacob Zuma and South Africa's current president Cyril Ramaphosa.
In this episode, we explore his extraordinary journey—from defying an oppressive system to shaping the future of ethical leadership. Sidney shares insights on the role of faith in activism, the power of moral leadership, and what young African leaders can learn from history.
