‘We have learnt so much from each guest’: Geo Botha on presenting Welvaartskeppers with his brother
The television series builds on the ideas explored in Geo Botha's father, Riaan Botha's book, Welvaartskeppers: Strategieë wat jou lewe kan verander.
Financial advisor Geo Botha expressed his gratitude for participating in kykNET's Welvaartskeppers series alongside his brother PJ and their father Riaan. The 13-episode show explores the journeys of South African entrepreneurs, delving into their businesses, decision-making, and challenges faced. Botha emphasized the importance of resilience in the South African business landscape, noting that regardless of hardships, people always devise strategies to overcome them.
He highlighted that the series aims to inspire and motivate viewers by showcasing the determination and hard work of successful individuals, rather than innate intelligence or talent. The series features notable South Africans such as cricketer-turned-entrepreneur Rassie van der Dussen, entrepreneur Vusi Thembekwayo, and Moolman Group CEO Jannie Moolman.
Botha's brother PJ and father Riaan had previously written books on wealth creation, forming the basis for the television series. Welvaartskeppers premiered on DStv channel 144 on October 8, 2026, airing weekly on Thursdays.
