Summary:
Pushing Boulders is a remarkable account of a Cape Flats man born in an old police station during apartheid, who overcomes seemingly insurmountable obstacles in order to fulfil his dreams. Athol Williams tells of how, after struggling through university, political unrest and racism, he managed to construct a lucrative career as a senior executive and found a successful business. Surprising those who know him, he gives it all up to launch a series of enterprises contributing to social development, pursuing his mission to use education to enable and inspire other South Africans to thrive.
