On today’s show, we focus on doing business in Africa for our sisters living in the diaspora. A lot of Africans are scattered across the globe mostly due to poor economies or bad governance in their home countries. This doesn’t take away from the fact that a lot of these Africans abroad dream of one day going back home or starting a business on the continent. The biggest obstacle to this is lack of correct information on doing business. This episode focuses on the ABCs of going into Africa for business. From what you should avoid to how you should go about the very different business environment. We then explore opportunities available for people in the diaspora, some of the opportunities don’t even need you to relocate to Africa and can be done from where you are currently based. Our studio guest Clara Mufandaedza also shares her personal experiences of moving from the corporate life in the West to the tough entrepreneur jungle that is in Africa. Finally, there are some great communities for the African diaspora to do business in and we have a list of great ones you can join to connect with other women who want to start businesses on the continent.
