I caught up with Marang Mbaakanyi founder of Drones For Africa Botswana 🇧🇼. They were on the Top 4 for the SADC region for the 3rd the Top 16 Youth-Owned Brands Awards. I am in awe of her ambition to make drone technology accessible to Africans. #Africans #Botswana #youngafricans #top16yoba #youthexcellence

On the 22nd of June, we celebrated Top 16 Youth-Owned Brands Awards “The Gold standard of Youth Excellence.” BA KENE delivered its Weekend Kits wrapped to perfection to the YOBA’s so they could gift it to their guests. This is a platform that nods young entrepreneurs and creatives who show up, who are building tables for themselves and creating innovative and viable eco-systems that many don’t dare to dream of. That’s why we had to be part of the movement that the YOBA’s are creating, it aligns with our mission and values as a company. These entrepreneurs and creatives do 1% of what 99% fail to do. Well done Pat Mahlangu BA KENE San’ 🧡

Happy Friday 😁. Let me take this time to congratulate Robot Boii winning the Top Personality and Influencer Brand and Overall Top Brand at the 3rd annual Top 16 Youth-Owned Brands Awards. The Overall Top Brand award is given to a brand that exudes excellence on all fronts. The Robot Boii brand is original, creative, accessible through various channels and consistent in its values. It is the first time the YOBAs has a personality as it’s overall Top Brand. This is indicative of the power of personal branding. It was a beautiful moment to have Sheldon Tatchell (founder of Legends Barbershop) 2023 Overall Top Brand) handing over the award. Well done Roboto Roboto Roboto! #Top16YOBA #YouthExcellence #YouthMonth #PersonalBranding

I want to take this time to publicly thank Prof Bonang Mohale for the keynote address he delivered at the 3rd annual Top 16 Youth-Owned Brands Awards. For most, outside of the the actual awards his address it was a highlight of the night. He asked 3 pertinent questions: 1. Do you as a family or a community sit at the table and discuss how to make monev? 2. Do you as a family or a community buy from each other? 3. Do you as a family or a community refer each other and invest in each other's businesses? It is a blessing to have elders like Prof Mohale, who give their time to empower the next generation. #Top16YOBA #YouthExcellence #YouthMonth
