A Zimbabwean businessman has made the Forbes Africa’s 30 under 30 list, which shows the 30 most promising entrepreneurs from around the continent, across various sectors.
“This is the most important list of the year for Forbes Africa. If one young African reads it and is inspired enough to start a business, it has done its job,” said Chris Bishop, managing editor of Forbes Africa.
The list was edited by Ancillar Mangena, a Forbes Africa journalist and an under 30 herself. She spent months looking for the best this continent has to offer.

| Fresh Ideas from Africa |
Research, coupled with nominations from readers, brought the number to 250 potential under 30’s.
The team worked for weeks, verifying and investigating, to whittle it down. The team favoured entrepreneurs with fresh ideas and took into account their business size, location, potential, struggles and determination.
A panel of judges then debated the final 30.
Nkosana Mazibisa is the only Zimbabwean on the list. He owns consultancy company Mazibisa Inc. and Swad taste of India, a fastfood entrepreneur. Mr Mazibisa (28) is based in Bulawayo.
The list has other entrepreneurs from around the continent, from Kenya, Nigeria, Madagascar, Tanzania, Benin, Gambia, and South Africa.
“This has been a very long but interesting journey. I think I am more excited about the list a little more than the entrepreneurs. I have become attached to each and every one of them because the vetting process was so long and I had to talk to them often.
“I am confident they are the billionaires of tomorrow. Peruse them, argue over them and follow their journeys. We find this list exciting, thought provoking and forward looking,” said Mr Mangena. -Forbes
