The Entrepreneur Magazine - Issue 7

In this issue

As Africa steps boldly into a new era of ambition and innovation, this edition of The Entrepreneur celebrates the courageous, resilient, and quietly relentless builders shaping the continent’s future. Entrepreneurship is more than business — it is a journey of becoming, where passion meets purpose and ideas are transformed into livelihoods and generational impact.

In this issue, we honour the stories behind the hustle. From students turned businesswomen to leaders redefining industries across law, sport, culinary arts, fashion, and community development, these narratives reflect the power of African creativity, conviction, and reinvention.

Meet trailblazers like Vulani Sheila Shivambu, who transformed a campus side hustle into a thriving beauty brand; Gerald N. Mlotshwa, whose visionary leadership spans boardrooms and polo fields; and Reginald Ramunenyiwa, whose story proves that purpose can rise from even the darkest seasons. Discover innovators like Chef Yondiee, where food becomes culture and connection, and Malebo Matlala of Mokatani, weaving sustainability, adventure, and African identity into every stitch.

This edition also invites reflection and growth. With insights from voices such as Jabulile Msimango and Zanele Njapha, readers are challenged to lead with intention, embrace evolution, and let go of what no longer serves the journey forward.

Bold, authentic, and deeply African, this issue is a reminder that success is personal, non-linear, and rooted in belief. Your dream is still valid. Your story still matters. And your journey has the power to inspire.
