The South African Chamber of Commerce UK is delighted to invite you to celebrate South African National Youth Day with an uplifting and energetic evening featuring Brent Lindeque, founder of Good Things Guy – followed by vibrant networking for the young in age, heart and soul.

What begins as a setback can often become the start of something extraordinary. In this inspiring keynote, Brent shares the story behind Good Things Guy – a platform born from uncertainty, frustration and the decision to focus on hope, positivity and possibility. What followed became one of South Africa’s most recognised positive news movements, reaching millions and changing perspectives across the country and beyond.

Through humour, honesty and practical insight, Brent explores how challenges can be transformed into opportunities through mindset, action and intention. This engaging session will leave you with simple yet powerful tools to help navigate adversity, shift perspective and create momentum in both business and life.

Whether you are an entrepreneur, young professional, established leader, or simply someone who believes in the power of optimism and connection, this event promises inspiring conversation, fresh energy and meaningful networking within the South African community in the UK.
Come ready to connect, be inspired and celebrate the spirit of youth, whatever your age!

Brent will have a few copies of his book available on the evening, should you wish to purchase one.
