“If you empower the mind of a young entrepreneur, you are not just creating one job — you’re creating 10, 20, even 100 more jobs”.

With these words, Dr Edwell Gumbo, the director of Entrepreneurship, Universities South Africa (USAf), introduced Entrepreneurship4Sustainability as the 2025 national EDHE entrepreneurship intervarsity challenge theme.

He encouraged students to participate because it can elevate them to provincial, national and even global platforms to showcase their business ventures.
