BULAWAYO’S chances of clinching the $25 000 prize money in this year’s My Own Boss (MOB) competition are high, as the city is dominating with six contestants from a total of 15 finalists. MOB is an entrepreneurial TV reality show targeting youths between 18 and 35 years. It identifies, nurtures, educates and exposes raw talent to the business world.
There are 15 contestants that have been chosen from the 10 provinces.
The six contestants from Bulawayo are Busi Mtshede, Nicola Grace Hove, Divine Ndlukula, Shingai Makomichi, Kganya Ndlovu and Tapiwa Mambanda.
Other contestants were drawn from other parts of the country.
MOB spokesperson Simanga Zhou said the show was in its fourth week and hit the screen last Saturday.
“We have 15 finalists, followers of the show can now watch it on ZTV and support their provincial representatives.”
The show is in Season Five having been pioneered in Zambia in 2007.
Flamboyant businessman and politician Philip Chiyangwa is head anchor in this year’s show.
The finalists stand a chance to rub shoulders with Zimbabwean business moguls who will take them through a mentorship programme on life and business during the course of the show.
Last year, finance guru Nigel Chanakira, managing director of Willowvale Motor Industries Dawson Mareya and Affirmative Action Group vice president and CEO of One Turn Mining Chamu Chiwanza were among the business people who took finalists through the mentorship programmes..
