Dr David Molapo
Nurturing the Next Generation of Leaders for Success
ABOUT US
“Leaders aren’t born, they’re honed. Sharpen your skills here.”
Humble Beginnings
David was born in KwaThema, a township south-west of Springs, South Africa. Growing up, his family faced financial hardships, and therefore, opportunities seemed scarce. At the tender age of 13, he was a customer of the police with free accommodation in jail for political activism. During such turbulent times, someone shared a text with him from the Bible Philippians 4:13 that changed his life forever. “It evoked a world of possibility, and I began to visualize, verbalize, and materialize about my dreams and future. Today, my dreams have become a reality,” shares David.

Despite facing numerous setbacks, David was determined to break this cycle and make a positive impact on his motherland and the world. Education became his beacon of hope, and as an academically bright student, he embraced every chance to learn, grow, and explore new horizons. “I realized that education – formal and informal- was the ultimate key to my total freedom,” assets David. Before leaving South Africa, he was already a Maths and Science Teacher and a staunch promoter of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM). Based on merit, he was given an opportunity to leave South Africa and study in the USA through the United Nations Educational Programme for South Africans.
However, upon his return from the USA, a move inspired by Dr. Nelson Mandela, loaded with a Bachelor of Science in Education, a master’s degree in leadership, a Doctorate in Leadership focusing on Comparative Religion, and a Ph.D. in Leadership & Management, David could not find a job. This led him to visit local high schools to encourage, enable, empower, and equip young people with marketing, work readiness, sales, entrepreneurial, and leadership skills. He later discovered what motivational speaking was all about and how much it had the power to bring out the best in people.
I Can 4 IR: A Reliable Partner for Leadership Journey to Excellence
When David became the first Black director of Dimension Data Holdings, he was given an opportunity to interact with CEOs and top executives across the world. He soon realized that there was a massive leadership bankruptcy in the Corporates, Government, and Community space. Taking ownership of his own career path, he started developing himself in this area and established I CAN 4IR, an inspirational speaking, coaching, and mentoring consulting company in 2018.

What people say about us
Before this leadership development program, I wouldn’t say I was a bad leader, but I definitely wasn’t at my best. I gave instructions, sure, but I lacked the ability to truly inspire and motivate my team. This program was a turning point for me.
