I had the absolute pleasure of working with Bertha Dlamini when I was a panelist, and she was the moderator of the panel, at the ABB Customer World Africa 2018 convention: Driving leadership in Africa’s digital revolution. The panel was a conversation about the readiness of Africa’s business leaders in the context of 4IR – a complex and challenging topic that required careful and insightful management by the moderator. Bertha was remarkable. She was able to summarise and guide – and stitch together the disparate views being expressed, ensuring that the discussion was kept on track, that the audience was engaged, and that the panel served the role it was intended to: stimulate thought, initiate debate, and entertain. I would recommend her for any role where moderation, insight and good humour is required. It was my privilege to work with her.
