Africa Has Hope!!.... Entrepreneurship, the way forward
Meet 12 young African entrepreneurs shortlisted for the $75,000 Anzisha Prize in 2013
With all the bad news we are constantly bombarded with, it’s so refreshing to see that the tide is turning and the future of Africa is bright! With young and innovative minds building solutions that can change our continent.
Twelve inspirational entrepreneurs from around Africa are the finalists for the prestigious Anzisha Prize, Africa’s foremost youth entrepreneurship award. The contenders, who hail from 10 countries on the continent, stand a chance to share in over $75 000 USD in cash prizes and receive networking and learning opportunities, which is provided through a partnership between African Leadership Academy and The MasterCard Foundation.
The Anzisha Prize identifies and celebrates Africa’s young entrepreneurial leaders between the ages of 15 to 22, who have addressed challenges in their communities and launched innovative ventures. This year these range from renewable energy projects and technology solutions to agriculture and education.
For the first time in the prize’s history, South Africa has two finalists. Kolawole Olajide, 21, is the chief developer and co-founder of Funda, an award-winning online learning management system. Neftaly Malatjie, 22, has been running Diepsloot Youth Projects (DYP) for more than eight years since he founded it at the age of 14. DYP is an NGO that focuses on income generating programmes that enable young people to engage in business opportunities.
Uganda also boasts two finalists. Best Ayiorworth, 19, has empowered over 200 young women in her home district through her microfinance lending programme while Titus Mawano’s vision to get African SMMEs “in the cloud” inspired him to develop Ffene, a business management platform.
Says Chi Achebe, Anzisha Prize programme manager: “There are thousands of entrepreneurial African youth who are making a difference in their communities every day. We are honoured to be able to share a subset of their stories with the world and enable them to take their businesses to the next level. These are the African business leaders of the future and our goal is to help support their growth.”
“The Anzisha Prize illustrates the potential, ingenuity and entrepreneurial energy of young people across Africa,” said Reeta Roy, President and CEO of The MasterCard Foundation. “Each year, the Anzisha Prize finalists encourage young people from across the continent to pursue their entrepreneurial ambitions and make a difference in their communities.”
All 12 finalists will take part in the 2013 Anzisha Prize Finalist Week which takes place from Sunday, August 25, to Friday, August 30 2013. While there, they will be taught by the African Leadership Academy’s renowned Entrepreneurial Leadership faculty as well as members of the South African Chapter of Entrepreneurs Organisation.
The grand prize winner will be announced at a gala function to be held in Johannesburg, South Africa, on the evening of August 30 2013. As part of The MasterCard Foundation’s partnership with African Leadership Academ (ALA), winners will share $75,000 USD and will join the esteemed Anzisha Fellows network, composed of the 20 Anzisha Fellows to date. The winners will also be given networking and learning opportunities to take their projects to the next level.
Now in its third year, the Anzisha Prize, celebrates the initiative and innovation of youth in Africa. It identifies exceptional young entrepreneurs who are leading by example and underscores their ability to significantly shape the future of Africa.
The word ‘Anzisha’ is taken from Swahili and translates into ‘initiative’ and is a project that is gaining significant momentum in African business circles as its impact is beginning to be felt.
The 12 Anzisha 2013 finalists (in country order) are:

Top tips to boost self esteem... Believe in your self
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
Low self-esteem can be the root cause of some mental health problems and can cause a vicious circle. You feel bad about yourself, so you get depressed, which makes you feel even worse about yourself, so you get more depressed and it can be difficult to break that cycle. Positive thinking and boosting self-esteem will improve emotional wellbeing.
Self-esteem is how you think about yourself, the opinion you have of yourself. If you have low self-esteem, the thoughts you have about yourself tend to be negative and focus on what you think are your weaknesses. Having a low opinion of yourself can make you more prone to mental health problems such as eating disorders, depression or anxiety and phobias.
Self-esteem can just be down to your own temperament. However, negative experiences in childhood can contribute to feelings of low self-esteem. People who have been abused or neglected in their childhoods often have low self-esteem or young people who feel they have not matched up to their parents’ expectations. Other things that can affect someone’s self-esteem include bullying, trauma, poor physical health and social exclusion.
Having low self-esteem can affect work, personal relationships and your social life so it is important to tackle low self-esteem to boost positive thinking and positive mental wellbeing.
TOP TIPS TO BOOST SELF-ESTEEM
- In order to change your beliefs, you have to understand your negative beliefs. Think about what your weaknesses are, when you started to feel like this; can you identify something that has happened that might have caused you to feel like this?
- Once you have identified the negative beliefs, gather evidence to challenge this and write them down so you have a list as evidence when you are feeling down. For example, if you feel you are unattractive, note it down when you receive a compliment from someone that says you look pretty or they like your new haircut.
- Positive thinking exercises – write down the things you like about yourself. Think about your best feature and write it down – I like my eyes, for example. Think about things you have achieved and add them to the list. Think about nice things you have done for other people, skills you have, talents that you or others have noticed and write all these positive things down. This is good to look back on when you are having a bad day or when you are nervous about something such as an exam.
- Friends and family – look at the people you have around you on a regular basis and think about how they make you feel. If you are spending a lot of time with someone who makes you feel rubbish about yourself then spend a bit less time with them and spend more time with people who make you feel good about yourself.
- Take up a positive hobby.
- Set yourself an aim – maybe a sponsored walk for charity which will make you feel good about yourself.
Mysterious: The girl who cries blood!!!
DOCTORS have been left mystified after a 20-year-old woman in Chile started crying blood.
Yaritza Oliva developed the condition earlier this month, and now bleeds from her eyes several times a day.
Miss Oliva, who lives in Purranque, Chile, said that the pain is ‘indescribable’, The Sun reported.
When she visited the doctor no infection was found so she was sent home with eye drops.
But, her parents, who cannot afford to send her to an appropriate medical expert, have asked friends and neighbors to help them raise funds for her.
Father, Jose, made an appeal on a local news programme.
The carpenter said: ‘Please put your hands over your hearts, see our situation and help my daughter.’
Some experts have suggested that Miss Oliva has a condition called haemolacria.
The rare condition causes sufferers to cry tears of blood.Haemolacria can indicate a more serious illness, such as a tumor and can be caused by high levels of hormones in women.
A teenage boy was diagnosed with haemolacria in 2009 after he cried blood three times a day.
Calvino Inman, 15, from Tennessee, said that he had no warning when the tears were about to occur.
He said that sometimes he could not feel them, and others it was like a burning sensation. He and his mother appeared on television to appeal for help, but they did not find a cure. Very little is known of the condition.

PERVERT: First pictures of the chains and poles kidnapper used to enslave his victims as he is sentenced to life plus 1000 years for 10 years of torture and rap
Ariel Castro was today sentenced to 1,000 years in prison for holding three Cleveland women hostage as pictures emerged of the House of Horrors where he repeatedly sexually, physically and emotionally abused them over the course of a decade.Castro, who pleaded guilty to 937 counts including kidnapping, rape and murder, appeared in Cuyahoga County for the approximately four-and-a-half hour hearing.Standing in an orange jumpsuit, Castro shocked the packed courtroom by stating there was 'a lot of harmony' in the house where he trapped and abused Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight. The 53-year-old blamed his behavior on the violence he suffered as a child and his addiction to porn.Speaking to the court about the abuse suffered by the girls, a doctor said: 'These women have life sentences, they will never be free of damage done'.
SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO
Sickening: Chains found in an upstairs bedroom at the Seymour Ave. house are shown on a television monitor during the sentencing phase of Ariel Castro Thursday, Aug. 1, 2013, in Cleveland |
He would ask his victims to wear this motorcycle helmet while he raps them.. this so sad! |
WATCH!!
Castro said: 'As God as my witness I never beat these women, I never tortured them. These women were not virgins when I met them, all three of them' |
Victims: Amanda Berry, Michelle Knight, and Gina de Jesus |
Detective Harasimchuk also told the court all three girls were vaginally, orally and anally raped throughout their time in captivity.He said all three women were abducted after Castro offered them a ride and that each was chained in his basement and sexually assaulted within a few hours of being kidnapped. Cuyahoga County prosecutor Tim McGinty said in a sentencing memorandum filed on Wednesday that Castro, who chained his captives and fed them only one meal a day, 'admits his disgusting and inhuman conduct' but 'remains remorseless for his actions'.
The memorandum says many of the specific charges in Castro's indictment reflect conduct documented by one of the women in her diary.'The entries speak of forced sexual conduct, of being locked in a dark room, of anticipating the next session of abuse, of the dreams of someday escaping and being reunited with family, of being chained to a wall, of being held like a prisoner of war ... of being treated like an animal,' it says.
