I got a scary email today from a student at Carnegie Melon University:
“Please direct me to where I can get info about how you managed to make it as an entrepreneur in Africa at a time when there aren’t so many.”
Firstly, there are thousands of entrepreneurs in Africa - I know more than I can count on all my fingers and toes! Also, organizations such as Endeavor.org are greatly assisting entrepreneurship in this part of the world. South Africa is growing at about 6% per annum - our infrastructure can’t keep up and we’re on our way to hosting the 2010 World Cup Soccer - a spectacular honor! To believe that there “aren’t so many” entrepreneurs in Africa is very myopic!
The following video is an all-time YouTube favourite of mine - I wish there was one that included South Africa - maybe I’ll put one together sometime - but regardless, Globalization if upon us, so enjoy!

In my country medias speak about SA more for the AIDS-related problems then for economics.
