2016 was streamlined in 10 distinct categories which represents key sectors
across South Africa’s economy.
The list
which has a gender equity of 39 women and 51 men is an initiative meant to
serve as a source of inspiration to young people around the world.
According
to Prince Akpah, MD of Avance Media, the initiative which was previously only
launched for Ghana is embarking on a continental agenda of leading in sprouting
the works and achievements of young people whose immerse contributions are
