Big5D.TV’s first guest was Nyari Samushonga, CEO of WeThinkCode, a tuition-free academy in Johannesburg that trains young Africans to become full-stack software developers.
Nyari believes tapping into Africa’s hidden coding talent is a classic win-win. Talented young people from less privileged communities gain opportunities. Employers feed their hunger for tech talent. Nyari is an engaging and compelling inaugural guest for Big5D.TV.
