Brent Lindeque, South Africa's Good Things Guy, is a dynamic advocate for positive change and the founder of the country’s leading 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 led to the creation of Good Things Guy, a space dedicated to stories of hope, humanity, and purpose. Today, the platform celebrates everyday heroes and powerful narratives that embody the best of humanity, reaching more than 30 million people through its website, social media and electronic billboards across South Africa. Brent’s message has become a daily reminder that kindness matters.

His work spans media, radio, television, charity, and public speaking, using each platform to drive change, spread optimism, and elevate those making a difference. He’s climbed Kilimanjaro for a cause, shared lunch with Oprah, and was recently voted one of the Top 5 South Africans to know in 2024.

Recognised as one of the Top 5 South Africans for 2024, a GQ Man of the Year (2019), one of the Top 100 Most Influential Young South Africans (Mail & Guardian), and listed among the World’s Top 100 Innovation Success Stories, Brent also hosts one of the country’s Top 15 podcasts. Brent’s mission is simple but powerful: to change the narrative and remind people that good things are always happening… we just need to look for them.
