The Brave Zimbabwean Entrepreneur Who Is Building Her Own Media Empire

As founder of Enthuse Afrika, one of few media brands in with a woman at the helm, Kapfunde is blazing a trail By Tawanda Mudzonga For our new Limitless series on young African women changing the game in male-dominated industries, we interview Stephanie Kapfunde, a young Harare-based entrepreneur who’s out to build her own media empire. Stephanie Kapfunde has always been bold. “My mom would always tell me that growing up people would always say: ‘This one’s a leader. This one should speak’,” she says. Little has changed now she’s running her own company. “You are always fighting, and you always have to have your armour on because everything around you is working overtime to make sure your doors are shut.” As founder of Enthuse Afrika, one of few media brands in Zimbabwe with a woman at the helm, Kapfunde is blazing a trail. Her digital media imprints include: Enthuse Mag, Bhizimusi and Hallelujah Mag.
