Empowerment Capital Has Makhathini as New CEO And Thuthuka Nathi Ventures, Lipa Payments.

EMPOWERMENT Capital Investment Partners has selected Bongumusa Makhathini as its new CEO as the funding and speculation business gears for development.

“Our next period of development requires a visionary chief with a remarkable history, a broad organization, and a comprehension of the South African business scene. Bongumusa more than meets these necessities,” said Anton Baumann, the chief at Empowerment Capital, yesterday.

Makhathini is a Harvard Business School alumnus and administrator of the SABC’s board. He had held a few directorships, including at SA Breweries (head of corporate undertakings and change), British American Tobacco (overseer of legitimate and outside issues), and African Commercial Diplomacy Consulting (overseeing chief).

Strengthening Capital Investment Partners has put more than R200 million into more than 20 South African new companies through its three speculation reserves: Andzani Ventures, Imvelo Ventures, and Thuthuka Nathi Ventures.

The assets are upheld by South African corporates Sappi, Shoprite Checkers, and Capitec Bank. Strengthening Capital’s ventures incorporate Acumen Software, Quench Delivery, Zulzi On-Demand, Bizzamm, ForGood, Moneyworks Financial Services, Kinektek, Ice Media Group, Cliqtech, Xango Technologies, and Lipa Payments.

Started in 2015 by Baumann and Mark Fitzjohn, Empowerment Capital said it was looking for forceful development. It entered the following period of its business to raise subsidizing with institutional financial backers for additional help of the little, medium, and small areas.

“The focal point of the following two-year development stage is the second raise of outsider institutional and global interest into an arrangement of de-gambled speculation resources supported by solid recorded corporate accomplices,” the firm said.
