Zimbabwean billionaire, Strive Masiyiwa has, once again found his place among the elite club of African billionaires with a net worth of over $2 billion. This prestigious feat comes with a surge in the market value of his publicly listed companies on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange.

His sudden increase in wealth has solidified his status, not only as one of the world’s wealthiest Black billionaires but also as Southern Africa’s second-richest Black billionaire.
