"“We need to create role models first and foremost to build up confidence because I think that is one of the key things that stops women from starting up businesses.”"

"“Start yourself off with people who believe in what you are trying to do. Before you sell whatever it is you want to sell, first believe in it yourself.”"

"“ICT has the potential to take away unemployment in Africa; it has the potential to produce quality SMEs and huge companies; it has the potential to solve social issues… it has the potential to change our education system.""

"What we are preparing our young children, or the generation that is now in school, to be are employees who think nationally instead of globally.""

"“You don’t even have to go to university… just look, think, use whatever tools are available to you, and create a solution… If no one is employing you, employ yourself and others by creating your own business.”"
