Business Insights & Success Stories

“Khanyisa Malabi is a cook after my own heart. She is deeply proud to call herself a South African. You might even go as far as to say it’s what defines people like us. Like me, she draws a great deal of inspiration from her past: her childhood, the dishes she shared with her family, the memories those meals evoke.”

EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN

Khanyisa is a mother, a brand creator, cookbook author, executive producer, and Chairperson of the Lumin International Group of tech companies. Khanyisa cannot be defined by just one thing. Life is too beautiful and too brilliant to live inside of a box. “I like it when people have a wide range of abilities and interests.” she explains. She lives and breathes this philosophy in her diverse business activities.

As the founder and Chairperson of the Lumin International Group of Companies, Khanyisa is on a mission to improve lives and serve customers across the African continent. She elaborates, “We have seen that the use of our technology has the ability to make lives better in our world. The idea that more and more Africans can have access to a mobile computer – in the form of a mobile phone – means that we can go further in providing services that empower people and address our people’s needs and right to prosperity and dignity. Every new company has that amazing power to enable blooming futures, and I get a thrill from seeing each company blossom into sustainable enterprises.”
We are trees rooted in the soil, in a world driven by connections. Inspiring the broader world by bringing them back to the original source of our continent, where our stories and creations are paramount.
