The new book, “A Shared Future For Humanity”, details the Survé Family Investments, Philanthropy and Global Initiatives in which they honour the friendships, partnerships, and global connections that have supported the family’s work in business, philanthropy, diplomacy, and nation-building. Scores of staff members from across the Survé companies attended the launch of the new book by patron and founder of the Survé Family Office and chairperson of the Sekunjalo Group, Dr Iqbal Survé. The reader is invited into the story of the Survé family, which is described as being the story of South Africa itself, “a journey shaped by resilience, sacrifice, heritage, and an unwavering belief that business must serve humanity”.
Dr Iqbal Survé with his two older children, Saarah – chairperson of Survé Philanthropies, and Rayhaan – chairperson of the Survé Family Office. The family unveiled its family crest as part of the book launch. The book takes the reader into how the family legacy was built across generations, inspired by ancestors who crossed continents in search of opportunity; strengthened by education, service, and struggle; and guided by a philosophy that entrepreneurship, networks, and knowledge exist to uplift communities and advance shared prosperity.
“As you begin this journey, think of this book not just as a record, but as a companion – one that walks with you through the lives, decisions, sacrifices, and achievements of the Survé Family. It is designed to orientate you, guide you, and help you understand the deeper purpose behind each chapter,” the book’s reader guide explains.
