At The Platform Nigeria held on 1st May 2023, renowned speaker and entrepreneur Vusi Thembekwayo delivered an inspiring speech urging African entrepreneurs to be intentional about pursuing excellence and seizing opportunities. Thembekwayo highlighted the importance of finding value in chaos and being adaptable to the changing landscape of business.

Thembekwayo emphasised that young entrepreneurs must understand the significance of sowing seeds and having the character to protect the fruits of their labour. He urged them to recognise the time to shift from accumulation to preservation, underlining the importance of possessing an insatiable appetite for growth.

The renowned speaker encouraged Africans to bridge the gap between nations and learn from their brothers across the continent. He praised the Nigerian entrepreneurial spirit and urged attendees not to take it for granted, as it keeps the nation alive.

Thembekwayo stressed the importance of hope as the single most important trait Africans must keep. He poetically compared knowledge without hope to laying seeds on barren land, as it yields nothing. He called for the younger generation to be marked by honesty, integrity, and justice, stressing that what is sown today will be reaped tomorrow.

In an age of technological advancements, Thembekwayo reminded the audience that technology can outwork but cannot out-value individuals. He called upon believers not to be cowards, asserting that Africa is the last line of defence for everything morally right. He encouraged Africans to be people of faith, hope, and principles.

Thembekwayo also emphasised the importance of asking good questions to seek the life and blessings desired, and expressed his hope for the future of African countries by stating, “We need a little bit of faith. Faith is the ability to believe in the impossible, to see the invisible and to trust the unknown.”

The powerful speech by Vusi Thembekwayo at The Platform Nigeria May 2023 left a profound impact on the audience, inspiring them to live by principles, hope, and faith as they strive to contribute to the development of their nations and the African continent as a whole.
