Episode Title: 🇿🇦UBUNTU - Redefining Africa’s Sovereignty🇿🇦

We continue the #HTBRICSSeries on Heads Talk with a leader on a clear mission: To cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset among Africa’s youth while strategically integrating the continent’s creative industries, i.e. film, art, and cultural production, into its economic and geopolitical agenda. By aligning hard industries such as energy, manufacturing and mineral extraction with Africa’s untapped soft power, he positions culture as a form of diplomatic capital to drive sustainable growth and global influence.
