Our speakers will be:

Rob Caskie

Leadership

Rob grew up speaking English and Zulu and served with Zulu troops during his National Service in 1984/5. Always interested in the Zulu people and the drama of the Zulu War, he joined David and Nicky Rattray at Fugitives’ Drift Lodge in April 2001, where he was engaged with hosting and guiding often distinguished guests to the battlefields of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift. A central theme in these lectures on the Anglo-Zulu War is one of reconciliation and how reconciliation can develop from conflict. Having understudied David Rattray, his mentor and great friend, for six

years, Rob became the principal lecturer for the next 4½ years after David’s untimely death in 2007.

Bill Gibson

Sales and Customer Service

In his life as a Professional Speaker and lecturer, Bill has addressed over 1,000,000 people on stages around the world over the past 25 years, making him one of the most sought after speakers in areas including Sales, Marketing, Business Development and Motivation. He has spoken at such academic institutions as Stanford University, Dalhousie University, University of Victoria, College of Cape Town, and South West Gauteng College.

And we’ll close with some side-splitting funny stuff from

Al Prodgers

With his uncompromising delivery and fearless approach to taboos, Al Prodgers is often billed as a “dangerous” comic. But he’s just as funny when he’s musing whimsically about drug-sniffer dogs or bemoaning his receding hairline. His ability to read a crowd mood and adapt to it explains why his incisive, intelligent wit is as popular with shockable grannies as it is with hardcore student types. His versatility has helped establish him as a sought-after talent in just six years – Al only ditched “serious” acting for stand-up in 1996.
