Our BEE Partner
Maharishi Invincibility Institute
Human, humble, purpose-led.
For more than two decades, the Maharishi Invincibility Institute (MII) has been close to our hearts. Supporting Dr. Taddy Blecher and the extraordinary work of MII is both an honour and a responsibility that we carry with deep humility.
When Rein and I founded Monday Cloud, we were unequivocal about one thing from the outset: our B-BBEE partnership would be meaningful, values-driven, and transformational. Maharishi Invincibility Institute was the natural and only choice — and we are proud to have made that vision a reality.
Beyond MII holding a 51% ownership stake in Monday Cloud, my personal involvement extends further. I work with MII on a pro bono basis across strategic and operational initiatives where Dr. Blecher chooses to include me, contributing time, experience, and support in service of the Institute’s mission.
Over the years, we have been privileged to support and participate in a number of significant initiatives. These include the acquisition of multiple MII academies, involvement in the development of the new Anglo American building, fundraising initiatives, strengthening client relationship management, and broader organisational support.
More recently, I have taken on the management of MII’s strategic partner accounts — organisations that collaborate with MII to uplift South African youth out of poverty. The objective is simple but powerful: to help these organisations deploy their B-BBEE spend in a way that delivers the greatest possible impact for unemployed youth.
With Monday Cloud, our long-term goal has always been to build a business of meaningful scale one that can create sustained, material benefit for Maharishi Invincibility Institute. This has never been a side initiative. It has always been the vision.

It is the Maharishi Invincibility Institute an exciting, demand-led, Consiousness Based Education institution with a root network of partners who are reshaping education and a a city many love.
Led by its founder and CEO, Dr Taddy Blecher , we joined an extraordinary tour of Joburg as an education-town, reinventing itself with the iconic craft of the Jozi My Jozi ecosystem. It was such an inspiring time to see urban innovators like Obakeng Matlhoko (creating a digital operating system for the taxi industry, among other things) and Allan van der Meulen (unleashing a marketplace and currency for social capital in doing good). Then exploring the future state of Joburg coming to life right in front of us:
- Fully trained security caring for every corner — they are graduates from the institute.
- Fun-filled urban regeneration in bright green, white and purple bursting with youthfulness— a new city.

- Holistic approach to stimulate and sustain consciousness is woven in the curriculum to untangle trauma, stress and other social disorders within 6 months of joining the institution.
