“In order to encourage more entrepreneurs, we as a continent must create an ecosystem of support for them. And one way we can all play a part in reviving and fostering Africa’s entrepreneurial engine is to recognize and celebrate our nation’s entrepreneurs”. Said McKevin.

These winners are leaders who are not just focused on personal wealth creation, but have dedicated time, energy and resources to making an impact on the lives of others in the various communities they are involved in. They were all invited to share their amazing startup journeys in the newly established Southern Africa Startup Magazine announced by COO, Flo Mosoane.
