| Aliko Dangote and Minister for health |
From business
Africa today has over 700 homegrown businesses, all generating more than $500 million in annual revenue. Their growing scale makes them a powerful force in helping address the region’s critical challenges. Aliko Dangote of Dangote Industries, a strong supporter of the region’s youth in the past, will be sharing his experiences with an audience of students at the University of Rwanda, as part of our Community Conversations series. Also sharing his views will be Patrice Motsepe, Head of African Rainbow Minerals.
East African business leaders will be out in force too: not least among them Ashish Thakkar, Executive Chairman of Mara Sokoni. As a young man, Thakkar was forced to flee the genocide in Rwanda; today he is a major investor in its economy. Joining him are other Young Global Leaders of note: Michael Macharia, CEO of Seven Seas Technologies, and James Mworia, CEO of Centum.
Other business leaders from the region include Siyabonga Gama of Transnet, Hendrik du Toit of Investec, Pierre Eladari of Puma Energy, Mahesh Patel of Export Trading Group, Geoffrey Qhena of Industrial Development Corporation, Nicolaas Kruger of MMI Holdings, Phillips Oduoza of United Bank for Africa, Kutoane O. Kutoane of Export Credit Insurance Corporation, Tonye Cole of Sahara Group, Ade Ayeyemi of Ecobank, Jubril Tinubu of Oando, Oscar Onyema from the Nigerian Stock Exchange and Baldwin Ngubane of Eskom.
