Vusi Thembekwayo makes history in Dallas
South African businessman and motivational speaker Vusi Thembekwayo continues to cement his place on the global stage.
The outspoken entrepreneur recently shared a momentous stage with two of the world’s most influential figures, Oprah Winfrey and Bishop TD Jakes during his tour in the United States.
Thembekwayo made headlines after reportedly becoming the first African speaker to grace the prestigious 2025 Good Soil Forum, an event hosted by financial giant Wells Fargo.
The forum, held in Dallas, saw global thought leaders and changemakers converge, and Thembekwayo’s presence was nothing short of historic.
He has been vocal about pushing African excellence beyond borders, and this tour is proof of that.
His ambitious itinerary stretches from March to October 2025, with scheduled appearances across Africa, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the UAE, and the Caribbean.
Though Thembekwayo’s name has recently surfaced in controversy over fraud allegations claims he has firmly addressed, his latest achievement has garnered a flood of support from South Africans online.
Social media lit up on 31 July as fans celebrated the moment he stood alongside Oprah and TD Jakes, recognizing it as a defining milestone in African representation on global platforms.
