ABOUT



No matter what you pick up to read in South Africa today, everybody is talking about the very high level of unemployment in South Africa. Unemployment amongst the youth is sitting as high as 60%. This is a huge human asset that needs to be deployed properly in line with the South Africa Development Plan.


It is in this context that we would like to invite the public and private sectors, national, provincial and local government Departments and institutions to partner with us for a very specific programme of getting young people around the table to discuss economic opportunities and career opportunities at a conference to be held at the ICC in Durban, KZN.


We are inviting young people in South Africa and all over the world who want to build and set on an economic path that will bring prosperity to all of the people in our nations. These young people will be listening to other people who are implementing different business models in the different industries to make South Africa a great nation. 


The conference is designed to bring doers together for collaboration and networking so they can drive the developmental agenda of South Africa. The conference will provide an opportunity for all young people in South Africa to take part in person - limited to 750 and unlimited online.


The conference is going to address real economic issues and focus on sectors that have the potential to on-board a number of young people, including but not limited to:


Food and Agriculture

Real Estate and Energy

ICT - here the intention is to both launch an ICT training programme and create a rural Silicon Valley in partnership with local and international companies

Tourism and Hospitality

Financial Services and Banking


We believe that the platform we are creating will develop an empowerment programme for the youth and also encourage our young people to have personal development programmes for each stage of their careers or their businesses.


In June 2021, we launched a book entitled ‘Young and Busy Shaking the World.’ The book can be accessed electronically at the following website: www.imanafrica.co.za/#bookorder - you may also order a hard copy. 


The launch event was about the ACTIVATION OF ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 120 - that is just about everyone!!! If you would like to watch the replay of the launch, you may do so here: bit.ly/Booklaunch2021
