The rise of several African professional gamers to the world stage in the last few years is not the making of a rare coincidence, but the product of many organizations and companies interested in including African people in this full-of-opportunities emerging industry.

Kevin Meltzer is the CEO and Co-Founder of Big5 Games, one of the companies building bridges between Africans and the gaming industry. Originally from Zimbabwe, Kevin lives in Johannesburg; he is an active speaker at technology and gaming events and a true believer that the gaming market offers countless career opportunities. He hopes that instead of a big actor or traditional sports star in the future, young Africans would want to become the next gaming star.

In this episode, Kevin talks to Dr. Marc about the future of gaming in Africa, mobile gaming, the lack of parenting support for gamers, and what African countries need right now to develop the esports industry faster. Kevin kindly shares his vision on the power of gaming to bring people together, breaking racial, gender, or any other type of oppression towards minorities. He also shares his number one networking tip!
