🏆 A SMALL WIN. A BIGGER VISION. 🇿🇦

What started as an idea to change how African learners experience Mathematics is slowly becoming a reality. 🚀

We are incredibly proud to share that Vorqela has been recognised among the TOP 10 in the North West Zenzele Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge 2026! 🏅

This recognition, accompanied by R10 000 in funding, represents more than a milestone. It is a reminder that bold ideas, built to solve real problems, deserve a chance.

At Vorqela, we're building a future where Mathematics is no longer something learners fear, but something they genuinely enjoy through gaming, innovation and technology. 🎮📚

To the North West Entrepreneurship and Innovation Hub, the Department of Economic Development, Environment, Conservation and Tourism, and everyone supporting young entrepreneurs: thank you for believing in the vision. 🙏

We're only getting started. 🖤💛

Africa's future is worth building for.

📍 Gauteng, that’s a wrap. Day 3 of the Zenzele Youth Entrepreneurship Tour closed with the Absa Financial Inclusion Symposium and the Zenzele Entrepreneurship Skills Initiative (ZESI) Graduation at JBS LG021, University of Johannesburg Business School.

The symposium opened honest conversations about access to finance, what funders look for, how young businesses become investment ready and where the real gaps still are. Thank you to our speakers and panellists for sharing what they know, and to everyone in the room who came with questions.

We also celebrated our ZESI graduates, who completed the programme and walked away with the skills to take their businesses further. Congratulations to every one of you.

Thank you to Absa, CEF and all our partners for making the Gauteng leg possible. Next stop, the Free State.

Zenzele. Make Your Move.
