A young boy from Benoni, South Africa, stood on a global stage at just 17, and didn’t just show up, he left the world speechless, claiming third place in the English-Speaking Union International Competition.

That boy became Vusi Thembekwayo, now a global business phenomenon, a visionary investor, and a voice that CEOs, presidents, and ambitious entrepreneurs stop to listen to.

By 25, while others were still trying to figure life out, Vusi was steering a R400 million division inside a R17 billion multinational, proving that talent combined with audacity can bend reality.

But he didn’t stop there.

He went on to build MyGrowthFund Venture Partners, a powerhouse pan-African investment firm fueling businesses that are changing lives across the continent.

He doesn’t just talk business, he ignites it.

Vusi has electrified audiences in over 21 countries, impacting more than 350,000 people each year.

His bestsellers, “The Magna Carta of Exponentiality” and “Vusi: Business & Life Lessons from a Black Dragon,” have sold over half a million copies, not because they’re just books, but because they are battle-tested blueprints for greatness.

His remarkable influence has been recognized across the globe.

In 2023, he received the prestigious Guardian Award at the 9th Annual EMY Africa Awards, and was celebrated as a Titan of Africa by the UAE-Africa Group in Dubai, both honors reflecting his entrepreneurial brilliance and undeniable impact on the continent.

But what truly sets Vusi apart is his heart for transformation.

Through his Leadership Foundation, he is on a mission to raise 1,000 high-impact leaders from underprivileged communities across Sub-Saharan Africa by 2030.

He doesn’t just build wealth, he builds people, and he builds legacies.

Vusi Thembekwayo’s story is not just one of success but of dominance, purpose, and unapologetic excellence.

He dares us all to dream bigger, act faster, and never settle.
