Brent Lindeque, South Africa's Good Things Guy, is a dynamic advocate for positive change and the founder of the country’s top good news platform.
A decade ago, Brent’s simple act of kindness (changing the Neknomination craze to RAKnomination) went viral around the world, sparking a journey that would lead to the creation of Good Things Guy, a space dedicated to stories of hope, resilience, and inspiration.
His platform celebrates the everyday heroes and powerful narratives that embody the best of humanity, making good news accessible and relatable to all. The reach across South Africa through the website, social media and various electronic billboards is well over 30 million.
Beyond his media, radio and television work, Brent is passionate about charity and has participated in numerous charitable efforts, including an inspiring climb up Mount Kilimanjaro. His dedication to uplifting others recently invited him to join an exclusive lunch with Oprah, alongside three other South African journalists, for an intimate discussion.
Named one of the Top 100 Most Influential Young South Africans by Mail & Guardian, a GQ Man of the Year (in 2019), and recognised on the World’s Top 100 Innovation Success Stories list, Brent continues to inspire South Africans with kindness.
