About This Event
Join Jerry More Nyazungu at Rainbow Towers Hotel, Harare for the launch of his new book, Miseducated Africa: Why Africa's Education System Is Failing Entrepreneurs, and a national dialogue on closing the gap between education and entrepreneurship. Guest speakers, a moderated panel, audience Q&A and a book signing, with 200 invited guests from business, education and government.
Miseducated Africa: Book Launch & National Dialogue brings together entrepreneurs, business leaders, educators, policymakers and professionals to address the widening gap between education and entrepreneurship in Africa.
Africa is producing graduates, yet many businesses still struggle to find people with practical skills, leadership ability, commercial awareness and problem-solving capacity. Jerry More Nyazungu’s new book, Miseducated Africa: Why Africa’s Education System Is Failing Entrepreneurs, confronts this disconnect, and the launch creates space for a practical conversation on what must change.
The evening includes addresses from guest speakers and the Guest of Honour, the author’s address on why he wrote the book, the official launch, a national dialogue panel, audience Q&A, and a book signing with networking.

Strategy, Systems and Digital Transformation Seminar
The End of Paper Executive Briefing is an exclusive executive seminar designed for business owners, CEOs, directors, entrepreneurs and decision-makers who are ready to lead their organisations into the digital era. As technology continues to transform every industry, businesses that continue to rely on paper-based processes, manual workflows and disconnected systems are finding it increasingly difficult to compete with faster, more agile organisations. This seminar will explore why digitisation is no longer a luxury for large corporations but a necessity for every ambitious SME. You'll gain practical insights into how modern businesses are using digital systems to streamline operations, improve customer service, increase productivity and make better decisions through real-time information. More importantly, you'll discover where to begin and how to avoid costly mistakes along the way. Facilitated by entrepreneur and business strategist Jerry More Nyazungu, this executive seminar goes beyond theory. Through practical examples, case studies and proven business strategies, you'll learn how technologies such as ERP systems, automation, artificial intelligence, CRM platforms and digital workflows are helping businesses eliminate inefficiencies and build sustainable competitive advantages. Whether you're looking to eliminate paperwork, improve operational efficiency, strengthen financial controls, enhance collaboration or prepare your organisation for long-term growth, this seminar will provide the strategic roadmap to help you move confidently towards a digital-first business. You'll also have the opportunity to network with fellow business leaders who are committed to building smarter, more resilient organisations. The future will not belong to the businesses with the most paper. It will belong to those with the best systems. Join us on 27 August 2026 at Rainbow Towers, Harare for The End of Paper Executive Briefing and discover why the businesses that win tomorrow will not always be the biggest, but the fastest, most efficient and the most digital.
Why African Businesses Die Young Seminar
Why African Businesses Die Young is a transformational business seminar designed for entrepreneurs, business owners, executives and aspiring founders who are determined to build businesses that outlive their founders. While thousands of businesses are registered across Africa every year, only a small percentage survive beyond their first few years. This seminar explores the real reasons behind that reality and what it takes to build organisations that are resilient, scalable and sustainable.
