EXPANDED TO INCLUDE SUB-SAHARAN AFRICANS TOO
On a freezing cold morning in 1999, Madiba stood on the steps of the SA embassy in London’s Trafalgar Square and looked over a sea of South African faces. “I love you all so much”, he said, “I want to put you in my pocket and take you home.” And so the idea for Homecoming Revolution was born.
Now in its 10th year, Homecoming Revolution is expanding its one-stop offering to attract not only South Africans back home, but East and West Africans back to their respective homelands too.
Says Angel Jones, CEO and Founder of Homecoming Revolution, “Sub-Saharan Africa is poised for take off, requiring strong leadership, top skills and job creation. Returning Africans bring home not only a superb range of international expertise, global relationships and local knowledge, but a strong sense of purpose and willingness to give back too – it’s a very powerful combination.
Continues Jones, “To date we have hosted over 30 international events. Now with our 2014 London Expo we are really excited about attracting Nigerians, Ghanaians, Ugandans and Kenyans to their respective home countries too.”
