His Excellency Ambassador Thulani Dlomo is the former Director General at the State Security Agency which is the Department of the South African government with the responsibility for civilian intelligence.
In 2017, He was appointed as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of South Africa to Japan and has become a leading voice on the African continent on issues of State Security, economic freedom and national transformation. Rising up in the ANC ranks from the age of 13yrs and being active in the underground structures of the ANC, led to him joining the ANC in exile. He returned to South Africa after the unbanning of the ANC, and he tirelessly worked with the ANC leadership in building the branches of the ANC in the KZN Province. Ambassador Dlomo’s extensive experience has made him a champion for change and peace. He has received extensive training from some of the leading organisations in the intelligence space.
This has qualified him to author of this great book that shall cause many minds to “Rethink Africa”. As a clear thinker - which was necessary in his assignment - he has set his heart to serve his continent and represent the Kingdom of God here on earth. He is a father, husband, leader and change agent. In this book he steps into the space of author and thought leader.
One thing is guaranteed when you meet Ambassador Dlomo in person, you will leave ignited with a fresh passion to change your continent. There is a fire in his voice and a sparkle in his eyes that is contagious. This is all augmented by his friendly and warm personality that makes you feel as if you are sitting with a dear, old friend. Despite all the marketplace success and influence, he is still a very homely man who is a loving father and caring husband.
Why I wrote the book
A simple desire, a noble cause. Make every encounter count.
My heart is simply to leave a legacy that shall be a blessing to generations to come. In the book I speak in depth on the encounters that I have had with many great leaders of our generation and how these experiences have made me the man I am today. My greatest encounter is the one I had with the King of kings. It is my desire that through this book I will move you to act in making this world a better place for all.
