"…Once again, the best of thank you for your excellent presentation to the Social Entrepreneurship Certificate Programme (SECP) 2013 class. Your professional style and content came across very well with authentic 'heart'. You spoke to us from a clear leadership understanding and with integrity on precisely the leadership and strategy issues that we needed to examine and explore in the programme…"
"…I just wanted to pass on my personal thanks to you for fitting us into your schedule, and talking to our class here at GIBS. The feedback has been extremely positive and your story has challenged their thinking around leadership and sustainability. It fitted perfectly into Anton's session on personal leadership and rolled into the other sessions on innovative thinking and strategy…"
"…We had an excellent meeting today with the health care team. Leutloa has shown himself as an excellent project leader, mature and experienced …..motivated to make this change happen. …thanks for choosing the right people to make it happen…"
"…It has been a great pleasure and very enriching working with you… and also learning from your leadership during planning facilitation."
"…I was struck by the humility, the considerate mannerism coupled with the steel determination to attend to the challenges facing our NA. The gentle and soft spoken-ness, with the not-too-dry sense of humor engaged any audience, and stoke participatory engagements. I know I was in the presence of a giant !…"
"…I am thankful indeed for ….all the empowerment I received from you. I still recall all the capacity I received during our long surface trips in Angola… for some reason I thought there would still be avenues for us to share with you many our successes and challenges ahead… Please be sure that you left in Angola a legacy of commitment, integrity and professionalism. …"
"…With all patience, love and openness you took me through the whole Organisation. This is the lesson that will last my whole life. You are a father, a teacher, a leader, a mentor, a counsellor, a motivator and colleague. I cannot forget when it was really uphill in my association and you commented 'Quitters don't win and winners don't quit'. Those words gave me strength to face the challenges of the time. It is through your leadership that SOS Children's Villages Lesotho has gained recognition and respect in the country."
"…you have indeed been an excellent leader and mentor. I was in a comfort zone when I come and discuss issues with you and you have always supported me and my team on all matters in the MA. You have been our pillar of strength and we used to look up to you all the time…."
"..when you were our Regional Director greatly inspired some of us who had just joined the organization. We looked forward to putting our new ideas for our work with children with zeal. All this because your leadership mirrored progress, critical reflection and innovation…"
"…as a mentor, thank you for your patience to train and for your dedication to provide opportunities for learning. For the time that we worked together, I learnt a lot from you and I still do not understand how you could afford, to all the time remain courageous, and how you could always see a brighter side in every darker side and that way, you inspired many young and elderly leaders to grow in the organization. With your support, many of us have learnt to be committed to the organizational cause, to trust, built hope and confidence in ourselves, even in front of heaviest challenges…"
"….I consider myself to have been fortunate to work with such a talented person like you over the years. I remember during my tender years as a youth leader when you joined the organization up until last year (planning). You have been a FATHER LEADER. … I have learned a lot from you, especially from the way you questioned things. It made me think and look at the bigger picture. You may not know how much you have invested in some of us…"
"…I will never forget the time you came to visit the Nhlangano Village and interacted with staff and children. You are a father, mentor, advisor, friend, leader making sure we realize the importance of impacting positively in the lives of children. … A strong pillar to reckon with…."
"…I mostly needed your coaching and leadership in most of my engagement."
"..It has been a real, real pleasure working with you Leutloa, we connected immediately on a personal level, which meant that we both remained militant and convinced throughout about the necessity to take these project assessments forward. I will definitely give it my best shot not to drop the ball, as you say, but I will miss your leadership, professionalism, risk-taking and sense of humour, above all. We have had some good laughs, real and virtual ones, too!.."
"…I think it's a pity for the organization to loose many good people ……. and I consider you're one of them…. Although we only had the chance to work together for a short time, be sure I've appreciated our collaboration and was looking forward to the next steps…."
"…must say I really enjoyed the meetings and travels with you over the years. I think you have meant a lot for the development of future oriented programmes inside our Organisation…."
