These 30 young African entrepreneurs are poised to be millionaires in the next 10 years

Africa is the youngest continent in the world. The continent’s people also face some of the most pressing issues in the world – extreme poverty, poor governance, extreme weather, high unemployment, among many others. As such, its youth bulge and the accompanying human capital has the potential to catalyze and ignite the continent’s development.

Young people who are able to identify the continent’s changes and address them through business position themselves to not only make a tremendous impact but to take home great financial gains.
