It is with a heavy heart that I share that our dearest Kissmea Naude, the CEO of POWER (Propagation of Women Empowerment Resources), beloved Mother and friend, has taken ill and is preparing to transition from this life to the next.

Kissmea is more than a leader — she is a light. A woman of unwavering strength, compassion, and deep conviction, who has dedicated her life to uplifting women of worth and substance. Her legacy is not only in the programs and initiatives she pioneered, but in the lives she has touched with her kindness, mentorship, and immeasurable heart.

In this sacred time, we ask for your thoughts, prayers, and gentle support for Kissmea and her loved ones. May she find peace, knowing that her light will continue to guide us.

*Dr Iqbal Survé: Unleashing the Power of Purpose*

By Dr Iqbal Survé

Purpose is far more than an abstract idea, it is the raw energy that shapes our lives and directs our shared future. Long before I donned the white coat, I was deeply involved in the struggle against apartheid — a battle for justice that ignited my lifelong commitment to uplift the oppressed.

That early fight taught me that purpose is born long before formal education, emerging instead from the crucible of lived experience.

In my early years as a doctor, I dedicated myself to healing individuals with genuine compassion. Yet, as I witnessed systemic inequalities that left entire communities unheard, I came to understand that real transformation demands a broader vision.

I recall the moment I chose to step away from personal healing in medicine for a mission capable of driving economic and social empowerment on a larger scale.

I established Sekunjalo with a steadfast mission to create opportunities and level the playing field. Being the first black man, listing my first company publicly on the JSE within 18 months was more than a business move — it was a declaration that a purpose-driven vision can break down barriers and redefine the rules of opportunity. That decisive step affirmed my belief that uplifting society requires a vision that transcends personal gain.

Yet, transforming the economy alone was not enough. I soon realised that to empower, we must amplify voices that have long been silenced.

Investing in media became both a strategic necessity and a moral duty — a way to ensure that diverse narratives are heard and that truth prevails over bias. Acquiring Independent Media was about building platforms for open dialogue, giving voice to the overlooked, and inspiring real change.

Every decision I’ve made since has been guided by the conviction that purpose is our North Star amid uncertainty.

In today’s world, each step we take carries risk and promise, making it essential to anchor our actions in a clear, purposeful vision. Such a vision transforms obstacles into stepping stones and setbacks into chances for renewal.

True purpose challenges us to look beyond immediate rewards and measure success by the lasting impact we have on lives. Knowing every action we take contributes to a legacy of empowerment, offering not just a sound strategy, but a practical roadmap for societal progress.

change.

This journey is a reminder that the true measure of our efforts is found not in fleeting accolades or material gains, but in the enduring impact we have on our communities.

In a world of constant uncertainty, the pursuit of purpose remains the most powerful catalyst for transformation. It is the beacon that guides us through adversity, the spark that fuels our resilience, and the force behind a legacy.

Every step taken with a clear, purpose-driven vision enriches our lives and inspires a movement that transforms societies, challenges the status quo, and crafts a future defined by hope, empowerment, and collective progress.

If you're seeing all the New Year's resolutions and rolling your eyes...this is for you. Make some tea, have a seat. Read this slowly.

Forgiveness is the thing. For yourself. For those who hurt you, disappointed you, broke you, made you question yourself, cost you the things that matter most to you.

You cannot measure a person by a single decision, behaviour or choice they have made. Good or Bad. A person is a collection of the choices, decisions they make and thus all the memories...good & bad are valid and real. FOR YOUR PEACE you cannot hyper-focus on either of these. You have to view the whole person in entirety.

Forgiveness means you are able to release the pain, but hold on to the pleasure you relate to that person. This does not always mean inviting them back in. It depends on how changes have been made to their self-awareness to make better choices. If you so choose - it's a clean slate. Build from the ground up. Or Not. Release the pain and move on in peace.

You will never know how you have suppressed certain memories about a person; good ones; until you leave room for this process to occur. Sometimes we have been so hurt...our brain buries the good memories of a person who hurt us...to protect us from the insurmountable pain of the loss. The problem is, this robs us of the good stuff. It is so bittersweet and poignant, it's worth keeping in your active memory. You also will beat yourself up less as the "Why did I stay? How could I have been so blind/stupid/weak?" fades into insignificance.

My wish for you this New Year is the Gift of Forgiveness. For yourself. For the person you were. For the person they were. Give yourself permission to be like Elsa and LET IT GO.

You have no control over others and if you have no choice but to be connected to people who perpetuate bad choices and behaviours (as is the case when you have kids) it is infinitely more difficult to do this. It is possible. I'm living proof of that. Allow yourself the joy of your memories. Even with those who cut you the deepest.

Happy New Year.
