Africans are known for their hustle – and the data proves it.

According to research by the Tony Elumelu Foundation and Stanford University, Africa has the highest percentage of entrepreneurs among working-age adults of any continent in the world.

But sadly, we’re not all Tony Elumelu or Elon Musk… We asked three guests: how can we teach Africans to be better entrepreneurs?

Rebecca Enonchong is a Cameroonian entrepreneur with technology businesses in the US, UK, Canada, as well as many African countries. She’s known on Twitter as @africatechie where she tweets tech insights to her 140 thousand followers.

Professor Bitange Ndemo may teach entrepreneurship at the University of Nairobi but he has some reservations about whether the subject can be taught.

Thami Pooe founded a social enterprise called Tshimong which teaches young South Africans to debate. But he also found that it helps them learn soft skills vital for entrepreneurship.
