On air: 13 December 2011 14:30 - 20 December 2011 14:30 (Photo: Flickr/Bill Zimmerman)

More about:

More than half of African youths are unemployed. This is partly because there are little formal employment opportunities for them. Our programme features three successful African entrepreneurs who did not wait for jobs to come to them. They thought out of the box, even broke a few taboos in order to create their own jobs. One is a professional toilet cleaner, one started a delivery business, and another helps people run their businesses.

Guests: Tom Makale, Steve Kiruri ( Kenya), Diana Johnson ( Nigeria)

Producer: Winnie Onyimbo ( Kenya) , with additional reporting by Sam Olukoya ( Nigeria) and Eric Kadenge ( Kenya).

Duration: 27’55
