ECAfrica, a social impact tech startup dedicated to empowering African entrepreneurs, is excited to celebrate Mandela Day in a unique way. We’re creating a space for connection and conversation by hosting Open Fireside Chats. This event coincides with the successful completion of Season 1 of our insightful podcast series, “ECAfrica Talks.”
In the spirit of Madiba’s legacy, ECAfrica is thrilled to reopen our African Media Resource Center, the heart of our Fireside Chats. This space, previously dormant due to COVID-19 restrictions, will once again serve as a platform for knowledge sharing and community building.
By creating the ECAfrica fireside chats, our goal is to connect with a like-minded community of entrepreneurs, public sector leaders, private sector innovators, and engaged citizens. This initiative aligns perfectly with our commitment to fostering connections and economic empowerment for a thriving South Africa,” says Taynita Harilal, cofounder of ECAfrica. “And it’s our hope that these conversations convert to a stronger, more connected ecosystem where everyone can contribute to a resource bank that fosters economic opportunities for all.
More than just fostering connections and economic empowerment, ECAfrica spearheads the transformation of South Africa into a thriving economic powerhouse. Innovative initiatives like the ECAfrica Talks podcast exemplify this commitment. The podcast serves as a powerful platform for change, empowering aspiring entrepreneurs with inspiring stories, valuable insights, and access to crucial resources.
ECAfrica’s dedication extends beyond the podcast, fostering a vibrant community through engaging fireside chats. This commitment to knowledge sharing ensures ECAfrica remains at the forefront of economic progress, a relevant and trusted leader in shaping a brighter future for South Africa.
Echoing Nelson Mandela’s call to action, “Everyone has the ability to make an impact,” ECAfrica believes that by sharing knowledge and fostering collaboration, we can collectively empower African entrepreneurs. This Open Fireside Chats event and resource bank launch embody this commitment, sparking conversations and building a thriving South African entrepreneurial ecosystem.
“At Lebolex, we are selective in our partnerships, choosing to support organizations that share our values. ECAfrica’s commitment to social justice, a cornerstone of Nelson Mandela’s legacy, deeply resonates with us. This partnership aligns perfectly with our dedication to empowering communities and fostering economic growth. We’re excited to participate in the Mandela Day Fireside Conversations and contribute to meaningful discussions that inspire future generations and create positive change,” says Mthokozisi Shangase, Co-founder, Lebolex
