Previous speakers have included the likes of Oscar-winning and globally acclaimed, South African-born actress, Charlize Theron and, more recently, former South African President, Kgalema Motlanthe.
PSG’s Think Big series has taken its place as a leading digital platform for debate and discussion on an array of topics that concern all South Africans.
