In this episode of Minding Your Business Africa, I sit down with Zimbabwean media entrepreneur Nigel Mugamu, the founder of 263Chat. What began as a simple Twitter discussion grew into one of Zimbabwe’s most influential digital media platforms, shaping national conversations and challenging how African stories are told.Nigel shares his journey from being an accountant to becoming a storyteller, the sacrifices he made and the challenges of building independent media in a difficult political and economic environment. We talk about the legacy of 263Chat, the importance of dialogue, and why Africans must continue to tell their own stories.
