GUEST: Zandile Mkwanazi, the Founder and CEO of GirlCode
Zandile Mkwanazi may have established her non-profit, GirlCode, somewhat by chance, but it was her innate drive to see more women in software development positions that helped the initiative to flourish. With Mkwanazi and her team of equally passionate tech-forward women at the helm, GirlCode, an NGO that hosts hackathons has grown from a humble all-girls hackathon in 2014 with only 20 women in attendance, to empowering over 80,000 girls with skills in coding, programming and digital literacy a decade later
