As the continent prepares to commemorate Africa Day, a time to reflect on the progress, identity, and aspirations of its people, one of the most anticipated voices at the Africa Day Brunch will be that of Tawanda Mhoka — a dynamic transformational leader, leadership coach, and passionate advocate for youth development.
Tawanda Mhoka is the Founder and Executive Director of the Vision Bearers Heritage Leadership Institute, an organisation committed to cultivating and equipping a new generation of purpose-driven leaders across the globe, with a particular focus on young people. His mission is clear: to see the African child rise into positions of influence and leadership with boldness, integrity, and vision.
With a distinguished profile in youth leadership and governance, Mhoka stands as a beacon of transformation. His impactful work has earned him international recognition, including the prestigious Global Youth Leadership Award from the Pan African Leadership Institute (PALI) in Ghana. He currently serves as the Country Coordinator for PALI in Zimbabwe, where he continues to inspire, mobilise, and empower young leaders.
His leadership influence extends further through his role as the Country Representative for the African Youth Leadership Entrepreneurship Convention (AYLEC), an initiative that fosters innovation, entrepreneurship, and visionary leadership among Africa’s emerging changemakers. In his professional capacity, he brings governance and accountability to the fore as the Grants and Compliance Manager at My Age Zimbabwe, an organisation championing youth empowerment and community development.
Tawanda is also a published author of The Leadership Mandate, a compelling and thought-provoking book that explores the essence of transformational leadership. In his writing and public engagements, he challenges young people to embrace the discipline of self-leadership and to align personal purpose with societal impact.
At the upcoming Africa Day Brunch, Tawanda Mhoka will deliver a keynote address focused on “The Power of Self-Leadership and Introspection for Africa’s Development.” His message is timely and resonant, calling on African citizens, particularly the youth, to turn inward, reflect deeply, and rise with intentionality to solve the continent’s pressing challenges. Through his address, Mhoka will highlight how true leadership begins with self-awareness, values-based action, and the courage to lead from within — principles that are essential for Africa to realise its full potential.
With his compelling story, inspirational leadership journey, and unwavering commitment to youth development, Tawanda Mhoka continues to shape a legacy of purpose and transformation. His voice at the Africa Day Brunch promises to ignite minds, awaken potential, and remind the continent that the journey to development begins with the individual.
