Applications for the Anzisha Prize for Young African Entrepreneurs in South Africa in 2023 are currently ongoing.
If you are a young African Entrepreneur trying to grow a small business or you’ve created something that provides you and your friends with an income – then your application is welcome. It’s a good opportunity to become a role model and inspire other young entrepreneurs to make a difference in their communities and Africa as a whole.
The fellowship is a three year program that celebrates and rewards business growth. During that time, the program will track the performance of the business and the entrepreneur. Businesses that show exemplary growth and initiative are rewarded with benefits and services. These include short courses, cloud services and cash stipends.
