Ep #47 - North African Summit Mini Series - A Conversation with Matsi Modise
Today, we're sitting with Matsi Modise - a lady of many hats and but for this interview, she is the founder who is the founder of Furaha Afrika Holdings.
Established in 2013, Furaha Afrika Holdings is a progressive Pan-African organization dedicated to enabling and leveraging growth across the African continent. By forming strategic partnerships with like-minded dynamic organizations that seek to move Africa forward, they unearth opportunities for meaningful investments – both in the continent’s infrastructure and in its human capital services. Meaning ‘happy’ in Swahili, Furaha Afrika Holdings is founded on the vision of a progressive and prosperous Africa where the richness of our continent is celebrated and amplified. Propelled by their values of doing things differently, working towards inclusivity, and valuing collaboration, their various subsidiary companies play to their unique strengths, while nurturing Africa and its potential.
We caught up with Matsi at our North African summit in Tunis to unpack their latest developments on the SA startup Act, her latest projects and perspectives, and to unpack her view on the North African ecosystem.
