In a groundbreaking moment for African entrepreneurship and leadership, global TV and movie star Anthony Anderson has publicly endorsed Ndivhuwo Nedoboni, recognizing him as a rising star and a beacon of inspiration for millions across the continent.
Anderson, known for his roles in Black-ish, Law & Order, and numerous Hollywood blockbusters, praised Ndivhuwo’s commitment to transforming lives through business and education, stating that his work is exactly what Africa needs to thrive.
A Visionary on a Mission
At just 32 years old, Ndivhuwo Nedoboni has cemented himself as a trailblazer in the African business landscape. As the co-founder and CEO of Value-Able Consulting and Marshall Barber, and a director at Delight Training Academy, he is not only building successful businesses but also reshaping the future of South Africa’s youth.
Through his Delight Training Academy, in collaboration with the University of Venda, Ndivhuwo is currently training 450 unemployed individuals, equipping them with vital skills to secure sustainable careers.
From Humble Beginnings to Business Success
Ndivhuwo’s journey is one of resilience and determination. In 2018, alongside his business partner, Mulondi Nthulana, he founded Value-Able Consulting. From operating out of a modest apartment and relying on taxis for transport to conducting business door-to-door, their beginnings were far from glamorous. Their first laptop, purchased from a repair technician at the MTN taxi rank in Johannesburg, symbolized their humble origins—a stark contrast to the state-of-the-art offices they now occupy.
This inspiring story of perseverance is what captured Anthony Anderson’s attention. The Hollywood star shared:
“Ndivhuwo’s story reminds me that greatness is not about where you start, but about having a vision and pushing forward despite challenges. Africa needs more young leaders like him, who are dedicated to empowering others and creating real change.”
Overcoming Challenges and Building for the Future
Like any successful entrepreneur, Ndivhuwo faced numerous challenges—cash flow struggles, delayed client payments, and hiring missteps. However, his ability to adapt, implement strong financial strategies, and establish a solid HR department has been instrumental in his companies’ growth.
Through Delight Training Academy, he addresses South Africa’s high unemployment rate by offering entrepreneurship and vocational training. Currently, 250 unemployed youth are enrolled in the New Venture Creation programme, with an additional 200 receiving training in commercial floor cleaning and hairdressing.
“We don’t just teach skills; we teach independence. If we can empower young people to be self-reliant, we can transform communities and, eventually, our country,” says Ndivhuwo.
A Leader with a Purpose
Ndivhuwo’s academic and professional credentials are as impressive as his impact. Holding a Bachelor of Commerce in Economics, a Postgraduate Diploma in Accounting Practice, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education, he combines academic excellence with practical business acumen.
As an accredited professional with the South African Institute of Professional Accountants (SAIPA) and the Southern African Institute for Business Accountants (SAIBA), he continues to refine his leadership skills while pursuing an MBA at Henley Business School.
With over 10 years of experience working with Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs), Ndivhuwo has gained deep insights into financial management and business growth strategies.
“Business is about people. If you focus on solving real problems and delivering value, success follows,” he explains.
A Commitment to Community and Legacy
Beyond business, Ndivhuwo is deeply committed to community upliftment. He actively participates in career guidance programs, motivational talks, and charitable initiatives, including food parcel distributions to those in need. His mission is driven by his faith, drawing inspiration from Matthew 5:14-15, which speaks of being a light to the world.
“I believe that I am empowered to empower others. That is my purpose,” he says.
A Future Filled with Possibilities
Looking ahead, Ndivhuwo has ambitious goals. In the short term, Value-Able Consulting plans to merge with other small accounting firms, positioning itself to become South Africa’s leading accounting, tax, and audit firm.
Meanwhile, Delight Training Academy aims to upskill 1,000 unemployed youth within the next financial year, with an ultimate vision of becoming a preferred institution of higher learning.
With the endorsement of a Hollywood heavyweight like Anthony Anderson, Ndivhuwo’s influence is set to reach new heights. Anderson’s belief in his potential is more than just a nod of approval—it is a signal to the world that Africa’s young leaders are ready to make a global impact.
Ndivhuwo Nedoboni is more than an entrepreneur; he is a changemaker, mentor, and inspiration to millions. His journey from humble beginnings to international recognition stands as a testament to the power of vision, hard work, and a relentless commitment to uplifting others.
Africa is rising, and with leaders like Ndivhuwo at the helm, the future looks brighter than ever.
