On today’s edition of Entrepreneur of the Week, we place our searchlights on one of Africa’s promising young entrepreneurs from South Africa – Emmanuel Sir Bonoko.
Many business analysts and enthusiasts believe that Africa’s large entrepreneurial nexus is responsible for the continent’s commendable resistance against the crippling effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
