Portrait of a Pioneering Entrepreneur - HB Marshall

A short, reserved Scotsman named HB Marshal made a lasting impression on the nascent city of Gold. Due to ill health, he moved to the rough and ready mining town in search of a better climate. Once he arrived, however, he quickly saw many opportunities to flourish thanks to his expert horsemanship and nimble business brain. 

From transportation magnate to brewery owner, from landlord to prisoner, his life of lucky breaks and lucky misses etched his name into Joburg's history books - most notably with the establishment of his eponymous settlement of Marshalltown.

Join us for a fascinating online webinar as Cathie van Rooyen takes us on an in-depth journey through the life of a true pioneer, including  'interviews' from those who knew and loved him best.
