Mashudu’s vision is to co-inspire, co-facilitate and co-create the ubiquitous emergence and universal acceptance of the ethic and paradigm of sustainability and symbiotic co- existence as the myth and de facto standard of how people live and conduct business. In this context Mashudu has studied Sustainability at Cambridge University, Schumacher College and an MSc in Sustainability and Responsibility at Ashridge Business School. He also completed certificate studies in Big History- a transdisciplinary history of the universe from the Big- Bang to Modern Times and Becoming Human-Anthropology with Macquarie University. Over the past several years, Mashudu’s inquiry has been on “becoming a sustainable and symbiotic self in his personal and organizational practice.”
