There is no doubt that Africa is one of the world's most vibrant and fastest-growing economies. Yet, too many people think it is archaic when it comes to business opportunities in/with it's entrepreneurs.
I would like to know what is your opinion or view on doing business in, or with other companies and or/businessmen in Africa.
Excited to hear these answers!

I've done business in few African markets besides currently running my search fund in Egypt. There are loads of opportunities in many markets specifically the bigger ones like Egypt, South Africa and Nigeria. Other markets are smaller but you need good market insights to filter out the quality ones.
Happy to take the chat offline

As Rob mentioned, lots of pros and cons - and these vary hugely by country. Always happy to discuss if you want to have a call, or a coffee if you're ever down in Cape Town.
