Charged Up Entrepreneurship Africa Network: Powering Africa’s Next Generation of Business Leaders
The Charged Up Entrepreneurship Africa Network is fast emerging as one of the continent’s most dynamic platforms for business innovation, leadership development, and youth enterprise. Founded by Ntsako Mahlaule, known as the “Charged Up CEO,” the initiative connects Africa’s aspiring and established entrepreneurs through empowerment events, strategic learning, and community collaboration.
Driven by the belief that economic transformation starts with connected minds and shared opportunities, the network encourages entrepreneurs to access resources, share knowledge, and build resilient, future-ready businesses across industries.

On Saturday, 1 November 2025, the movement gathers its community of innovators, investors, and visionaries at the Emnotweni Arena Conference Centre in Mbombela for a powerful one-day event themed around leadership, sustainability, and innovation.
Hosted by Ntsako Mahlaule, the Charged Up CEO, and headlined by keynote speaker Theo Baloyi, founder and CEO of Bathu, the conference offers participants direct access to influential voices shaping the future of African business.
Key Topics Include:
- Leadership and entrepreneurship

This year’s conference takes a fresh, actionable approach — equipping attendees not only with inspiration but with tools to implement and scale real business solutions within their communities.
More Than Motivation – A Movement for Growth
Beyond the conference, the Charged Up Entrepreneurship Africa Network operates as a growing ecosystem that champions collaboration, mentorship, and continental networking. The initiative focuses on:
