THE #ANZISHAEFFECT
In 2021 we decided to take you, fellow young entrepreneurs and champions of young entrepreneurs; on the journey with us to find the Top 26 of the year.
We dubbed this 4 part docu-series, The Quest. Every episode sees our very own Didi and Mfundo traveling to different regions on the continent and meeting these incredible young entrepreneurs.
In the series we learn what motivates these young entrepreneurs and why they are looking forward to being a part of the Anzisha Prize.
