In this episode of InFocus with Insight, host Pamela Hellig is joined by CEO Old Mutual Life and Savings, Prabashini Moodley, for a deeply insightful conversation about leadership, identity, and the role of growth in shaping South Africa’s future.
Together, they explore Prabashini’s journey from being the youngest of four sisters growing up in a small town to a dazzling career which has seen her taking the helm of one of South Africa’s largest insurers. Prabashini shares some of the books that have shaped her life and outlook, from Yuval Noah Harari’s 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, which highlights the importance of humility and resilience in an uncertain world, to Joanne Joseph’s Children of Sugarcane, a powerful exploration of ancestry, identity, and the enduring spirit of South Africa’s people.

Little Women by Louisa M Alcott
A splendid exchange, How Trade shaped the world by William Bernstein
