What changes when leadership learning takes you inside the organisations shaping Africa’s economies?

For Blessing Matiro, ALUSB EMBA Class of 2026, that meant engaging directly with businesses and the people behind them.

Originally from Zimbabwe and based in South Africa, Blessing shares how her EMBA journey brought learning to life through experiences in real organisations and conversations with leaders across the continent.

What changes when leaders learn to see Africa through perspectives beyond their own?

Akshay Vishwanath joined the ALUSB Executive MBA with a background in conservation and a desire to strengthen his business foundations. What he found was a pan-African learning community that transformed how he approached leadership, collaboration, and impact.

Today, as Executive Director at JustAct, Akshay continues to apply those lessons through leadership grounded in reflection, purpose, and real-world action.

"Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu" meaning "a person is a person through other people", is one of my grounding beliefs.

At every point in my life, there has been someone who served as a critical link between where I was and where my path was leading me. In this video, I share some of the dots that needed to connect for me to get to this very moment.

It's tricky to find a true beginning to the story that led me here because there have been so many serendipitous moments along the way. But for the sake of starting somewhere, let's say it begins with Mike Hyatt inviting me to a Rotaract meeting, where I met Gary Sanderfield who sought my help with the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program. That led me to Martha Saavedra , who led me to Reeta Roy, through whom I met Fred Swaniker.

There were many other connectors, enablers and inspirations along the way, people like Melinda Johnston, who helped mold me into who I am today. And at the centre of so much of this journey was the Mastercard Scholars Program. An institution that I would not be able to tell this story without.

And even then, the story begins long before that. Because I was shaped by an incredible mother and siblings, who knew and empowered me to be bold before Mike ever thought of inviting me for that meeting. Ngingumuntu, ngabantu.

Adulting is hard, but there is wisdom in age. And every year, I tap into that wisdom by connecting the dots and gaining perspective on why past events needed to happen for my future to unfold.

I hope you take a moment to connect the dots in your own life. Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu. by @alubusiness

Leadership isn't taught from a textbook, it's built in the field.

Her journey took her beyond case studies into real organisations, and real conversations with the people building Africa's economies. What she found wasn't a generic MBA. It was a mindset shift, on leadership, on the continent, and on her place in its story.
To Blessing and every EMBA alumna writing Africa's next chapter: thank you for trusting us with the journey. by @alubusiness

True business leadership isn't just built in the classroom, it scales through powerful, connected networks across the continent.

We are proud to highlight the success of the inaugural ALUmni Southern Africa Regional Summit in Harare, Zimbabwe, where alumni from across the region convened to drive economic growth, share strategic insights, and catalyze new business ventures.

Through strategic discussions during the Building With Purpose sessions and live venture presentations at The Alumni Pitch Den, participants tackled the practical mechanics of scaling regional enterprises while awarding finalist founders over $37,500 in Mastercard Foundation grant funding to accelerate their growth.

By combining rigorous leadership with tangible backing, our alumni are proving that business-driven innovation is key to Africa's future.

Leadership is not defined in the boardroom or lecture hall. It's proven on the ground.

This past Saturday, ALU’s leadership team, staff, and students led by our CEO, @sideedlamini were in Jabana to take part in Umuganda, Rwanda’s powerful monthly tradition of unity, civic responsibility, and community service.

Working side-by-side with local representatives from the City of Kigali, Gasabo District, and Jabana Cell, as well as CP Christopher Bizimungu and CP Barthelemy Rugwizangoga from the Rwanda National Police, we put our core values into motion.

Developing Africa’s next generation of ethical, entrepreneurial leaders requires more than classroom theory. It demands getting into the soil, building trust, and serving shoulder to shoulder with the communities that host us.
