MOHAMMED DEWJI

I chose to stay in Africa because I believe in Africa. I could have gone anywhere. I chose here.

Africa is the biggest untapped opportunity in the world. The question is not whether to invest in Africa — the question is how quickly.

Manufacturing is the only way Africa will create the jobs it needs. You cannot trade your way to development.

After what happened in 2018, I came back stronger. It reminded me why I do what I do. This continent needs people who refuse to leave.

The biggest mistake people make about Africa is thinking about it as one country. It is 54 countries, 1.4 billion people, and each market is completely different.
