MULOONGO’S MISSION
Ongolo was launched on 01st of April 2020 to change the narrative about Africa as a dark continent that is stuck in the past to one that will illuminate the world in the future.
This mission will be achieved by:
- Promoting African success stories to break the negative news cycle of corruption, crime, disease and poverty
- Putting Africa front and centre in driving solutions to world problems by championing innovation, entrepreneurship and thought leadership
- Promoting talented Africans and people of African-descent to become strong contenders for local, regional and global leadership roles in any industry
- Providing an accurate depiction of the Africa we know and love by celebrating its rich culture, heritage and beauty while poking fun at every day quirks
