We’re proud to share that our Founder and CEO Siyabulela Mausi has joined the Inclusion & Sustainability Task Force under Startup20 South Africa.

This appointment represents a continuation of her long-standing commitment to ensuring that women, youth, and communities often excluded from mainstream entrepreneurial narratives are not just included, but actively prioritised in shaping the future of innovation.

We look forward to seeing the impact of this work in building a more equitable, sustainable, and future-ready startup ecosystem.

Inclusion is not optional. Sustainability is non-negotiable.

Introducing the Chair, Deputy Chairs, and Members of the Inclusion & Sustainability Task Force — a diverse team working to embed equity and resilience into the heart of entrepreneurship.

Their focus? Championing women, youth, and green innovation while promoting circular economies and climate-smart growth.

This is the future of inclusive innovation👇

Support Ababalwe’s Dream!

Meet Ababalwe Liyabona Mayekiso, a 12-year-old rugby sensation from Cambridge Primary! This talented young athlete has already made a name for himself on the field, playing for Border Rugby’s under 12A team and leading his school team as captain and assistant captain.

But Ababalwe’s story goes beyond rugby. He’s a shining example of a well-rounded individual - excelling academically, gifted in art, swimming, and cricket, and deeply rooted in his Christian faith.

Now, Ababalwe needs our help! He’s been selected for an incredible opportunity to tour Italy with his rugby team, but the cost is steep: R69,990 per player.

Let’s Rally Behind Ababalwe!

Reflecting on the journey of Media Maus, it feels like a lifetime has passed. What started as a spark of creativity has blossomed into a thriving business. The challenges were real, the doubts were there, but the passion and belief kept me going.

Being recognised as one of MTN’s Top 10 Women in Digital Business is a surreal experience. It's a validation of the countless hours poured into Media Maus and a testament to the incredible team behind it.

To anyone dreaming of starting their own business? remember: the road may be tough, but the rewards are immeasurable. Keep your head down, work hard, and never lose sight of your passion.

Thank you to MTN South Africa, EBL Institute of Business and Technology Nyda Rsa and all the stakeholders involved.
