In Part One of our list of 20 entrepreneurs under the age of 30, we introduce young leaders from South Africa, Nigeria and Zambia.
African entrepreneurs under the age of 30 are making waves with innovative solutions, according to African Business. In Part One of their series, Emily Innes-Whitehouse introduces three young disruptors from South Africa, Nigeria, and Zambia.
First, Cebolenkosi Gcabashe, 22, founded G Khula Trading in South Africa. Starting with just $120, Gcabashe sold a single high-pressure cleaner and expanded his service to include roof cleaning, car washes, and upholstery cleaning. Employing four people and training young entrepreneurs for free, G Khula Trading now values cleaner, healthier spaces while preserving property value. Gcabashe attributes his entrepreneurial spirit to innate qualities and credits his company's success to starting where he was with what he had.
In Nigeria, Christianah Madu, 23, founded Primevolts Solar after experiencing unreliable power supply. Primevolts Solar focuses on energy access and gender inequality in STEM by providing clean and reliable energy solutions. Madu has trained over 200 girls and women, created at least 20 part-time jobs, and expanded energy access in under-served communities. She aims to power three under-served communities, providing families with clean, sustainable energy.
Last, Kaembe Chisenga, 25, is the founder and CEO of Bwangu Delivery in Zambia. Recognising the challenges in accessing reliable and convenient delivery services, Chisenga created Bwangu Delivery to transform food and goods delivery in local communities. Bwangu Delivery offers affordable delivery options, helping to ensure that essential goods reach those who need them most.
