Foreword by Francois Pienaar.
Chartered Accountant and CFO Yusuf Bodiat applies a strategic finance mindset to the business of government, treating South Africa as a complex organisation with a board (Parliament), an executive team (Cabinet), and millions of stakeholders (citizens). Reframing South Africa as a case study in turnaround management, he uses the same analytical tools that drive corporate recovery, and presents a blueprint for stabilisation, credibility, and sustainable growth.
Yusuf Bodiat has over 15 years’ experience across corporate finance, audit, investment, and governance across corporate, public and development sectors, and speaks widely on finance and leadership. The Bottom Line is his first book.
