The Onyx Africa Podcast

In this episode, Maureen and Mashudu are reflecting on the recent Budget Speech which was for the most part “Anti-Poor”, they follow that through by going into the VAT increase then they went into the GNU (Government of National Unity) or much rather, the GSU (Government of Selected Unity), checkout the episode for that play on words…😂🥶

The conversations very quickly became one embedded on safety, particularly focused on how “Safety is an Illusion”, you know how we all seem to have some kind of safety net which isn’t really a safety net… We’re very much in a “Squid Game” of sort; so there’s absolutely no reason why why we should compromise on our morals… Hope you enjoy!

Ekoh has considered all the challenges that the African entertainment industry faces and decided to go on a mission to build integrated solutions for most of these challenges on one platform.

Their mission to create more accessibility for African creatives and the African population at large is inspiring. The Ekoh Online platform is live and they are currently targeting a $750k seed raise on the startup’s fundraising platform DueDash.

In the conversation, I am joined by the co-founders - tune in to hear more about Ekoh and its offering.
