Enactus South Africa NPC For immediate release Date: 09 October 2024 Team South Africa Shines at Enactus World Cup 2024 in Astana, Kazakhstan. The 2024-2025 Enactus program year has launched successfully, highlighted by Team South Africa’s participation in the prestigious Enactus World Cup 2024 in Astana, Kazakhstan. Representing the country, the Enactus Team from the University of the Western Cape, our national champion team showcased their innovative projects, LenoKids and WebMax, and proudly secured a place in the Top 16 among global competitors. Accompanied by faculty advisors, Enactus South Africa staff, funding partners, and board members, the team exemplified South Africa’s entrepreneurial spirit on a world stage. Additionally, two students who won the Ford Community College Challenge Cycle 11 at the Enactus South Africa National Exposition in July, qualified for the early-stage competition at the World Cup. While they did not advance, their presentation highlighted the creativity and drive of South African youth. This achievement was made possible by the generous support of our core sponsor, Ford, along with contributions from Harmony, MTN, Schneider Electric, 98 Degrees. Their backing allowed our students to meet with their peers and engage in this enriching experience to display South Africa’s entrepreneurial talent internationally. The event was a resounding success, with our students performing exceptionally well. As we move into the new program year, we are excited to build on this momentum and continue fostering positive social impact through entrepreneurial action. We look forward to inspiring further entrepreneurial initiatives and creating positive change in our communities throughout the 2024-2025 Enactus program year.
