ABH prize finalists

HARARE: Zimbabwean entrepreneur Ethel Mupambwa is among the top 10 finalists of the Africa’s Business Heroes (ABH) prize, a programme to support and inspire the next generation of African entrepreneurs.

The programme, which is in its second year, is created by the Jack Ma Foundation’s African Netpreneur Prize Initiative.

The organiser said the finalists stood a chance to win a share of a $1.5 million (about R25m) prize pool at the grand finale next month.

The 10 outstanding entrepreneurs – half of whom are female – were selected from over 22 000 applications across Africa.
