While there are ongoing discussions regarding the perceived shortage of skills in Africa, an entrepreneur from Soweto, Africa Nkosi, the co-founder of Khonology, a software development business, is dedicated to demonstrating that Africa unquestionably possesses the capability to create world-class business solutions through technology, digitisation, and automation, as well as compete on a global scale.

"The core issue is not the potential or skills," he emphasizes, "but what is taught at universities, in contrast to what the market truly demands. With Khonology, we have successfully harnessed the power to deliver substantial business value, promote equal revenue sharing, and drive employment opportunities."

A substantial portion of their business revolves around bringing ideas to life, creating scalable solutions, and identifying and nurturing the right talent.
